That's lovely, do you know which garage supplied it , it has a Teesside registration. I used to live up there and spent a lot of time at dealers in the 80s

Love the AA box shot there is one near here on the Norfolk coast.
I've got the foundations down to build one in my garden
Unfortunately I don't have much history for her. Her last tax disc (1999) had Fakenham post office stamped on it. It also has a service sticker from its last garage that it got serviced at which is also in Fakenham so I'm guessing she spent some time near yourself in Norfolk. Also a horse feed sticker on the the back window so I'm guessing the Norfolk owners where equine people. There isn't many of these cars left so they must've done something right and the dryer climate on the east coast may also have something to do with it!

Interesting to know its a Teesside registration though!

Hi Tom
Quite ironic I ask about its north east roots and it's been living about 10 miles from me!
Its amazing how cars move about I bought my metro near rugby but when I was going through old tax discs and with the plates realised I'd seen it on the day before it was delivered in kings Lynn
We were on holiday in Norfolk and I'd lost the petrol cap of the maestro EFi I had and we went to mann egerton, while I was at the stores my then girlfriend had a wonder about and was sitting in a green metro turbo and was told by a salesman that it was sold.
It was the only green turbo there so I'm sure it was the same car

Cheers
