Depends what metal you want your item to be cast in, Mark. If it's ally, there's a company down in Lymington that can probably help or if it can be bronze or bronze alloy, there's a company at Lasham.

I'm afraid not.
Got really busy at work, then we decided to sell the roadster and buy something we could get straight in a drive and do events with. We ended up buying a 1957 MG Magnette ZB (this was last August) that had been restored but had a tired engine and box. An easy fix, or we thought so. Found that were some major anomalies that needed to be fixed, in other areas. Just doing it piece meal as we're using it and building another engine for it, to be installed over the winter. Engine's not dissimilar to the one for the Met, but will have a blower and fuel injection on a modern version of the Derrington cylinder head.
I will get back on it when time permits. Looked at it the other day and it hasn't deteriorated at all while it's been sitting there!!

Thanks for the reply,I had just re-read the whole thread and am waiting to see the finished car as no doubt you are, it's funny how a new car with just a couple of little jobs can turn into a bit of a marathon, best of luck with the magnette but we do like pics ya knows

I might know who that is. Possibly the Met owners contact for the DVLA.
