Last year Jonny extracted an MG Metro Turbo from a garage in the Midlands in what became one of The Late Brake Show's most popular barn find vids. As you might know, I bought that car and sent it away to be brought back to good health. Now, at last, it's ready to go... youtu.be/x-WvIWJd-hs?...

Lovely car. My first car was a Metro 1.0 which wasn’t great (turned out to be a cut and shut) but still have a soft spot for them. Still have vague memories of the Metro launch being on the news and it being a big deal at the time.

Looking forward to watch this, after re-watching the barnfind to have a good idea of how it all started.

Very cool car. However, not a single shot of the fabled boost gauge in action. Gutted.

Incidentally, you can watch the original garage find of the car here. youtu.be/Rxl8HxeigSU?...

My first car was a (NA) MG Metro so you brought the feels with this. Metric tyres, crunchy gears, they all do that wings, barely making it over the chilterns in 2nd with the temp gauge pegged... 6ft 2 and I fit into mine fine too.

There’s a GIF to be made from you and Jonny demonstrating the headroom.
