I am intrigued by your car, as I don't remember a rear engined Metro being built by JM, is it a rebodied Imp/Stiletto ?
I don't think the special saloon regs at the time would have let it run in Metro form.
Also, Hi to Steve65, please pass on my regards to Malcolm and Bernie.  |
It was built for George Crozier,running a 1.6 Twin Cam,not sure when it got the BDG,presumably during Jim Hutchinson's ownership.
It was definately built as a Metro,not modified later in life,& No,it probably wouldnt have met the Special Saloon regs of the day,but it does now.
The car was supplied with a Hewland Mk9,& we are hoping that it will take the BDG,if not,we will have to get either an FT,or FG & remake the lower rear suspension to suit.The Mk9 came back from JP yesterday,so that is on its way to Steve Mole now.Suspension links due back from Nickel plating Wednesday,new shocks have arrived from Quantum,so serious assembly will start shortly.
