You might find it easier to get one in Edinburgh :wink:

.
The last one i seen was on a 52 plate with a toyota engine in it.

P.S you might still need a pair of ear mufflers and remember not to expose it to direct sunlight :shock:

in your opinion.

But what experience?

I'm on my third in fifteen years, and would have another.

Like a lot of things, don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

Already have. T reg Series III. 11 months old/ 25k miles when I bought it. I spent more time under it than in it :sad:

Parts were a nightmare. Manufacturers went bust, started up again, went bust again. 4 years of torture. Never again! Not to mention the noise. Hearing only now recovering

I would have thought that the ttt would have been ok as you can get parts from any Toyota parts bin and being Toyota derived it should be more reliable

I'd sooner own a triple T than a Ford engined TX2.

There are about a dozen 55 plated Metro's running about in London, these were a result of Metrocabs brief resurection the other year.
