Glad you managed to sort it David. I hope it gets a refresh and back on the road with whoever has taken it on.
It looks like that will happen, it already looks much shinier than it ever did in my ownership.
Sean has set me photos of his progress and I'm impressed. It's a big job though, it needs a ...

The car has been sold and has been taken to its new home in the far west...

Hello all, sorry about the lack of response from me but I don't often look in here now.

However, despite what I've said elsewhere (usually Facebook), the car is up for sale again. I did have someone agree to buy it but he dropped out.

I bought it with a ...

i found this chaps name on everything - the builder/ glasser maybe?

Mr/Ms/Miss Harvard would have been the first owner for whom the car was built.

Having said that, I'd imagine you could modify a Metro wiring harness to fit.
If you're using a 6 volt coil from a Metro, the standard ...

From what I remember, I think your bonnet may not be original. My recollection is that the original Midas bonnet did not have the bulge for the oil filler cap, but that it was added later in production.
