One of these lines of enquiry has led to the following email being received from Vintage Tyres.
It looks like we might have limited numbers of a 185/55R13 Camac in stock within a month or so.
Initial supplies are limited, so if you know someone who needs them get them to email to add their name to the list now!

I understand this size of tyre may also have been used on Mk1 and Mk2 Fiesta's and possibly a few other cars of the period.
If you are aware of any other car that uses them, and have contacts within the relevent clubs please let tham know.
If we want to keep this chance of a limited but hopefuly continuous supply of this size, and the possability of other sizes coming available, those who have cars with this size of tyre please contact Vintage tyres direct via the address above.
The greater number of people who take up there offer the better chance we will have of them sourceing more of this size, and possibly other sizes in the future.
Charlie @ Vintage Tyres, has stated that they are hopeing for a "Pre Vat Price" of Under £50 per tyre.
My thanks to the Metro Owners club for there effort's, and long may they continue to keep them up, as it helps all owners not just club members. (as is there aim)
