Project anyone?

[dave the builder]

considering BL had a field full of un-usable ones (due to a change in the rules ) the humble mini metro shopping cart (6R4 version) is a tad pricey these days

I spoke to someone who worked at BL Motorsport back then and he was offered one of the clubsport 6R4s from the field (albeit painted up in works colours) as a redundancy payment, he took the cash instead...

probably wise
unless you had a heated ,dry ,hermetically sealed box to keep a BL product in until now
then you'd only have to worry about the rust that the BL factory installed during production

Spaceframe chassis and plastic bodywork, so might just have been ok.

Thanks  , i didn't know that 
so not a base model dragged off the line and hacked apart like Lotus did with the LCs then

Nope. Afaik it didn't share any parts at all with the production car.

Headlights, taillights and front grille are clearly the same 

In some pictures it looks a lot like the lot was grafted onto a standard bodyshell (at least A-C pillar), too? https://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/metro-6r4-silverstone-classic-auction/

I agree, they look like bolt on bits. Ugly little ficker.

Imay be wrong, but my impression is that it was a spaceframe with a silhouette plastic bodyshell. Might ask the bloke across the road when I see him, as he used to have one.

Shame he put a Rover V8 in and not the rest of the M3 bits.

Invacar blue is not the colour i'd choose

That's already been projected, nothing much left to do.

That 'upgrade' would have been handy for Nick Berry in Heartbeat. He'd have caught the baddies in no time.

As with most projects of the type, the drive home would, no doubt, fill up your todo list quite nicely, and that's if it wasn't mostly spent on the back of an AA truck.
