Bit of a long shot, my Dad recently passed away and I’m doing a bit of digging. He had a team in the metro turbo challenge. He was the was a director of klaxon and sponsored the enterprise racing team with Dave Loudon and paul Taft. Dave was at his funeral and thanked me for Dad giving him his first paid drive which was cool. I don’t suppose you know if any of the enterprise cars still exist or if anyone has any further info on them? My childhood was following the team round so would be great to find out a bit more
Cheers Ben |

The original NCAP testing shows that the basic design was pretty weak & adding a roll cage didn't do much to imptove the situation. Watch this. http://www.euroncap.com/tests/rover_100_1997/11.aspx ... Or look it up on youtube if the link does'nt work ! Ouch !! |

Loved reading this thread about the Metro Challenge, certainly a highlight of my childhood. My good Friend Tina Cooper raced Metro Turbos in 89 I think, does anyone recall or have any pictures ?

As you say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwGgRUkrnng The commercial already showed a crash test (Nigel Mansell at wheel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL14nqc6vO8
