, the handling was savage,

Did you replace the suspension and subframe bushes when you bought it? I'm guessing not if you describe the handling as savage.

After driving a lot of 107's, and many other vehicles, the last thing I would describe the handling as is savage. One of the better handling, well balanced and most stable cars I have ever driven, when well maintained.

Only kept the thing for 3 months, the romance wore off when it launched itself through a colourbond fence sideways.

It was, what made it more exciting was when the rust was found.. THAT was the interesting story.
