Re: The ebay thread
The wheels make it look like an mr2 kit car
Re: The ebay thread
Those wheels like they've been upscaled from a Lego kit, or am I misremembering?
Re: The ebay thread
I rather like it, and the interior. Not sure about the wheels at that ride height, apart from the original 15"s I can't think ottomh what others they had. A pity it hasn't got a sunroof, and chrome roof rails would suit but I don't know if they ever did them.
I used to go past an MG Rover dealer in Southend that always had a selection of Monograms out front, I've probably got pics on an old phone somewhere.

You’re better off without a sunroof. They inevitably leak at some point.

Re: The ebay thread
A ratchet that's also a hammer. I'm sure we've all cheated and used a ratchet as if it's a hammer at some point

Re: The ebay thread
Similar to scaffold/spud wrenches which can also have a hammer built in. They’re more useful though as the handle goes tapers to a point so you can line up holes on big heavy things.
How about not having a sig at all?

LEDs are obviously all the rage nowadays but I like the look of these. Standalone HIDs.

Re: The ebay thread
I really like that, based on an SLK32 AMG

Don’t like the Porsche based on a Metro

Re: The ebay thread
There’s one which comes to a local classic meet, although it’s much scruffier and nowhere near as nicely finished, it’s on bigger steel wheels which look so much better with the proportions.
The engine bay is really cramped though, he has a 1.8vvc and has had to put a bulge in the front to clear the actuator which makes it obvious it’s not rear engined
