That poses a question- how were the Metro Challenge cars supplied. Did teams buy a Metro from a dealer and convert it using a kit of parts bought from Austin Rover, or did AR sell bare shells and parts to build up the cars from scratch?

Just a thought: Austin Rover did run a 'guest/celebrity' car in the series at one point- was it run in-house or farmed out to one of the teams? It might explain a reference to an 'ex-works' chassis though
