Main trade-off	Exceptional speed per litre with improved cooling over the 231, but turbo, tanks, gear and a sparse market complicate ownership.	Excellent speed and handling in a compact cabin, but engine, gear, corrosion and restoration quality dominate value.	Outstanding efficiency and speed, but cabin access, useful load and ageing gear or fuel-tank issues need attention.
