*Listed as such in my notes, but thought it should be a class B MG Metro Turbo.

Think this is discussed somewhere in the Metro Turbo thread- AFAIK Watts started the season with a Class C 1300c Metro, not getting a Metro Turbo until sometime around mid-season, when a new car was built.

I'll have a look at the 1983 results I've got later- think they're fairly incomplete.
