You can still pick them up on evilbay occasionally, or the one for classic cars.

Does the emission thing mean it won't pass MOT??

Naa it just means you cannot buy new ones. Old ones are a doddle to maintain cos they are just copies of Fiat 124 mechanicals winterised for Siberia. They entered one in the Land Rover Trophy Competition once and it won.

Ah, I see. Good to know. They pop up on here quite often http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/
