Cavcraft Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 £5,250 for a van that's fucking useless at being a van.

You’re right that a City or base would’ve had recessed lights on a D-reg. That one has bonnet, grille and headlamps (and non-metric wheels) transplanted from a phase 1. Bumper could be original or transplant. UltraWomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 In the past I have tried to find out if you can buy those Metro and Montego metric tyres now anywhere. I have given up looking and concluded you simply can't, not at any price. On the continent having the 'original' homologated tyre size is often an MOT requirement so i thought they might remain in low-volume availability over there long after everyone in the UK had swapped to imperial rims, (I remember dear departed Davenumbers battling with this issue actually) but I can't find anyone selling them anywhere. That would really piss me off big time if I had a nice D-reg Metro City X in clove brown and I could not put the original wheels and tyres on it even if I was ready to throw money at the problem.
