I went into a little back street garage about 2 years ago and noticed a mk1 on a 4 poster after asking the guy about it he said it was his car that he had owned for about 15 years . ........................It was a RS1600 that had a wilcox engine in it never been welded and was in a dark blue colour . He then showed the reg doc and it was once owned by the MET hence the colour . Cracking little car .
