Excellent Post. Also owner of the 40th anniversary. Am at ~11k and have owned the car for a little over a year.
The car has been great. Main concerns are issues with squeaky brakes. See the thread here about the ongoing break issue. A few internal rattles from the center console, yet to be solved. Wiper blades are odd, can be noisy and poor. Aircon seems to 'struggle'. Quite loud and vibrations are strongly felt at idle. Boot is a strange shape. I find the light steering very annoying. Four cylinder feels underpowered in the middle of the rev range. Otherwise, it's pretty competent for daily driving. Make sure if you opt for any options, change or upgrade the cloth trim. Everything will stick to it despite being comfy.
Other than that, these are my only faults with the car. Everything else is perfect.
