My first car which i got brand new a Metro city x dark blue know and again i check out eBay for the Metro MG turbo prices.
Dare I? I hated these with a vengeance but then I bought SWMBO one (she loves them) about 15 years ago and I fell in love with it/them.
I had a Mk 1 Lotus cortina, I was a keen grass track racer at the time, I sheared the cam shaft in my Anglia with 1760 crossflow that I was racing at the time just before the final race of the season, after a very long night I took the engine out of the Lotus and fitted it in the Anglia to race the following weekend, It wasn't as fast as the 1760 but I liked it so much I built one for the road, It took a lot of work moving the brake and clutch reservoir's to clear the webers among other things.

I got a test drive in a standard 1.3 Delta when I was 18 - not quite in the same league but fantastic cars
I nearly bought an early Van version a couple of years ago - it was mint - fully restored by a guy who had found an even earlier one and didn't have room. Really wish I had bought it now as the price was v.cheap
Not an advertising/marketing shot. Something that was just parked up on the street, in every day use and I love it all the more for that.
