Was surprised they didn’t smash that Metro up - what’s the score with it though, DVLA reckon it’s black....

Maybe repainted it as black wouldn't look good on camera? Or just someone else repainted in its history.

It had been re engineered underneath no engine obvs but the wheels were linked with a beam axle front and rear; subframes notable by their absence.

The fella that resprayed it for them is in the Metro groups. As you can see by the grille, it was a cheap and quick respray to make it stand out on the telly.

The car itself was for sale for ages and nobody bought it due to dodgy rust issues etc.

In the event that I was doing that (no fucking chance) I'd probably have insisted on a 100% rust free car. 

All the structural parts of the car were replaced with ones suitable for the stunt hahaha

You can see on the underside that there are no subframes and where the exhaust was is now a box section.
