It runs well enough Sean, I just have to find some one to weld the sill.

Picked up the interior today.

Got an immaculate set of herringbone seats for £30!, only in Doncaster too.

Hi, ur MG metro is exactly the same as my dads. Colour, alloys and everything. My dad's is a (E) 1988 plate. Ours is totally original and has never been restored or anything. It has only ever done 40000 (literally about 39998) and was kept in a centrally heated integral garage by the previous owner (old granny). The clutch is ok too, as shortly before she sold it, she had a new one put in as she thought it was too hard. :)
