Been off the road since 1979 never been welded 

Never been welded always scares me, but this Hillman looks solid.

Metro based "TT" with a self-sustaining ecosystem in the footwell. Lovely.

I always find it ironic that these kits were made as the TT MK1 was worth an order of magnitude more than a metro. 

Where as now, a tidy standard Metro is worth a fair bit more than a TT MK1.

I have a feeling these are thunderously shit, but I'm hoping if I post it here then @Schaefft will buy it and I can experience it vicariously.

To be honest, they are interesting cars with an interesting backstory. It's just one of those typical cases of GM improving a vehicle year by year only to cancel production the moment it became a genuinely competitive car (ignoring the head gasket issues of the Northstar in the last year of production). At the time they were new there was nothing like them. Even our own Mr @dollywobblerliked it. This one has been for sale for a while though, not a fan of the gold exterior color either. I'd own (a cheap) one.

That dashboard looks a nightmare if you need to turn anything on at night.

It's actually not too different from what you'd find in the big Opels/Vauxhalls of the time, including my Senator B. The slap of a center stack containing the Hifi system is so 80s, I love it. Best feature of the car!

What a useful if not elegant body.

Carrying luggage is a problem in mine.
