‘Tis complicated.
The most interesting one is the Mk1, very few left. Technically it is drivable, albeit at the time it has a stock MG Metro engine (non-turbo). Which probably makes it a better car overall because it still has the Turbo’s suspension bits (higher-rated Hydragas units + rear ARB) with a very nice engine. Unfortunately the 2nd gear synchro is shot, and driving it that way is a royal pain.
The Mk2 has been rebuilt from the ground up to be used as a toy, but at present I have other priorities. It’s
mostly
stock - but with a few improvements: straight-cut transmission gears (a well known-weak point in the Turbo versions); cross-pin differential; dry-deck cooling system; oil jets fitted to the block; reinforced bump-stops; firmer Hydragas units (from the Metrovan/five-door versions);
heated windscreen (intended for the 6R4); etc. It just needs assemblying the lot and sorting it out, it is pretty complete.
Some day.
