Umm yes I do own one....
That link you posted is of a Rex the 2 Cyl Supercharged version. (Crap!)
As Suby Wan Kenobi has said mine is a Rex body with a Vivio Motor & has the ‘Clover 4' 660cc 4 Cyl version (Much Better!) My Mother drives it!!!!!
They are F*&%EN fantastic to drive! The handling leaves a bit to be desired as they are not very wide but have a long wheel base. The ride can be a little harsh but that’s got a lot to do with the from struts I have fitted. When they are well tuned you can take on a V8 Commonwhore & leave it behind on take off right through to 60Kms/Hr! VERY good on fuel about 4.2L/100Kms.
As for repairs I haven’t changed anything except a pair of CV joints they were second hand when I bought the car & had done 98,000Kms & I have put on approx 60,000kms more. Tyers last forever! 68,000Kms!!!! From $45 tyres!!!!!!
If you have the opportunity to buy one I would not hold back. I am in the process of building number 2 as I want one for my self!!!!
I will try to get some pics of it for you.

Did you put a Vivio engine in the fiori? It was a 550cc engine.
