I've got one. I don't know if there's a difference between a 1.5 and a 1.6 NA cam, and I don't know which you're looking for. I have a 1.6 cam w/ gear that I pulled off of a head I don't trust any longer (the cracks were just tooooo wide!). The engine ran great when I pulled it, and the cam didn't seem to show any unusual signs of wear, although the head had cam bearings in it which would indicate that the cam MIGHT have been turned at the time the bearings were line bored over size. I doubt it, as you would think that if the saddles had to be line bored then there was probably damage to the existing cam as well, meaning they would probably replace it at that time. I know the machinist who looked at the head for me didn't note any unusual sizing.
