A friend's granddad had one of those (about the same time I had the Allegro) - as I recall it had the handle from a kitchen tap where it ought to have an ignition barrel  ;D

I had one of them as a temporary 2nd car... RWD as well IIRC  :-/

First car was an A Reg Brown Metro 1000. Bought it for £50, spent £100 getting it prepped for it's MOT, ran it for 6 months putting 35k on it and spent nothing on maintenance :o at which point it threw a wobbled and snapped the crank shaft at 5am on a Thursday morning. Needed wheels to go away for the weekend (was 18 and on a promise 160 miles away ::)) so bought the Peugeot, taxed and tested for £125.

Only kept it about 3 weeks as it kept overheating (HG) and lost confidence as it had remoulds fitted and I had a blow out at 70+ so replaced it with a 1.3 Metro HLE
