That winds me up soooo much. If you don't want it to go to a mini person, sell it properly so you can scope out the buyer.

Nicky you kill me !!!! let the emails and questions commence :)

Ive just asked the question: "Hey mate would it be possible to fit my mini engine into one of these?" Wanna see what he says hehe. I know its a bit harsh but felt the need because of the "run of the mill" comment |

An awful lot of Metro Turbos on ebay are bought for their engines. At the end of the day, the highest bid wins, and if people are prepared to pay a high price for an engine then that is up to them. However, some very nice Metro Turbos have been scrapped for their engine, and this winds metro owners up. A couple of years ago, some mint ,very early, metro turbo panels appeared on ebay. It transpired that a very good condition, barn find, metro turbo has been found, bought for a couple of hundred quid, and the engine ripped out. The shell was then stripped and scrapped. Early Metro Turbos are very rare in any condition, mint condition is uber rare (I know of only one), and the stripped and scrapped car could easily have fetched between £2000-3000 complete as there are buyers stacked up for the MK1 Turbos. At the very least, it was poor economics to strip the car, and it was definitely a waste of a very rare piece of British car history. On 13/08/2006 01:45:43 Rich1275 said:
