Same fate as some Valvers

When was the last time you saw one of those on the road ? Long time ago i bet, i've seen a few like this on Ebay over the last few months. All the nice bits seem to find there way into Mini's now, shame really the Metro turbo is one of my guilty pleasures :oops:

Yep I guess this guy owns a mini of some sorts, I do have a liking for Metro Turbos, like you Jezzie, so with that and the 16v and V8 SD1s all my favourates are prime donor fodder.

the very early mg turbo metros had such good anodizing on the rims that under hard breaking the tyres would slip on the rims!!!
