No, as far as I recall, TWR weren't involved in the Metro build. I guess Paul Taft's could have been non Dowson built as there were a lot of good little one make/saloon prep people at the time who specialised in these sort of things like Boopspeed, Oselli etc. I'm fairly sure Taft's was from the same 'shed' as the other 2.

If it wasn't then whoever prep'd Paul's challenge cars, or maybe someone like John Maguire would be a good bet? Both from the Bham/Coventry area at the time.

Maybe Paul Taft or a Dowson connected bod could even tell us??!!!!
