British Cars going Metric?

[Larry Gillam <mit-eddie!hpfcpq.fc.hp.com!gillam@EDDIE.MIT.EDU>]

        I was visiting my local parts house for some stuff for my
        '72 TR6 and was again explaining....No, my English car does 
        NOT have any metric fastners. This has happened several 
        times and I'd like to clear this up with some facts concerning
        SAE vs. METRIC as it relates to the British automotive industry.


        Any comments?
