What a great find! 8)

I have a pile of Top Gear magazine in the loft somewhere, dating from early 90's for about 5-6 years. Also, stacks of evo mags, (every collectors edition) - yes I am a sucker for that "collectors" marketing thing....

Remember reading the original road test on that Graeme and looking at one in the showroom as I could not believe a Metro could be specced to £12K.
