Cool! Hang on, your not going to just put that engine in a Metro are you and scrap the mini as revenge?! :) It has been suggested to me  But I could never do that, it will be cared for as well as the Metro Turbos :cool: It needs work doing but is in very good original condition, no major rust and only 21K and one elderly lady owner since it was 12 months old

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Sorry, nice car, good find!!!! :o The elderly owner could well have been quite sprightly when she bought the car 14 years ago. Why is it so hard to believe that they would have bought an ERA Turbo? It was a production Mini with a high price tag, and I doubt many youngsters were buying them. |
