The registration date will be for the Metro, I imagine your car would have been built around 1987

We assumed it was the donor's reg date, we didn't get any history with it apart from a pile of MOTs & a few recent bills, its had 10 former keepers plus the last owner, so I'll be No 12 when the log book comes back!

Hi,

I went down with Charlie to collect it when he bought it. I seem to remember it had a lot of extra interior fittings and there was a lot of unusual language because you couldn't get to the hand brake adjusters on account of the trim. I seem to remember it looking very good after it had been recomissioned. I can't remember if Charlie had it painted or the subsequent owner had it done because it was a non metallic BRG orginally.

I think it may even have the early 4 point subframe fitted.

Cheers,

Mike
