Just a few pics taken from the RGA (Richard Grant) and Autoplas catalogues back in the mid 80's, mainly Metro but a few other BL (pictures are photos from the brochure, so not the best quality, but I may scan them at some point if anyone's interested), but here's a start.

I'm loving the white Metro!!
Those are the bumpers I'd want if I built my wide-arch design!
Cool as F**K!!!

A late response but that'll be fresh anti corrosion wax leaking out of the drain in the bottom of the door, that car looks like its only just left the production line.

Check out that rear beam with discbrakes! Compuvison cars look to have flared rear arches too

yes that is a very exciting picture that rear radius arm with disc brake is part of the fia homologation papers so I could use that in historic racing on my a-series except they parts to do it is totally impossible to buy anywhere

The photos of the ex BTCC Metro Turbo rear beam, exhaust and engine bay photo's were taken by me at the Gaydon auction for that car. The car was bidded up to £9000ish with buyers premium, worth every penny in my book, my bids stopped at £5000. The car appeared in one or two magazine articles later after recommisioning, to be used as a hillclimb and sprint car. Within months of the original auction it appeared in a classic car mag for sale section for £30000, it seems to have disapeared now unless anybody knows different.
