After much though ive decided the Metro has to go to make room for a Celica GtFour in the new year, so here it is, done 47k with history and a stack of receipts etc, has got nearly new tyres all round, interior in very good condition bar 1 cigarrette burn on the drivers seat, however ive never smoked in the car and the owner before me was a non smoker (me being the 3rd owner). Outside its again in very good condition bar 2 things, the car was stolen not long ago and reversed into a lamp post, so it has had the passenger door bent out and a dent in the bootlid, but other than that i challenge you to fault it....

Engine starts first turn everytime, even in these arctic conditions :p and is pretty nippy for a 1275cc, it has the original AP 4 pot front calipers still fitted, i'll have to check tax and mot but i think its got about 4/5 months tax and 10 months mot.

Price is £650 o.v.n.o these are becoming very thin on the ground now and ok yes its a metro but they awesome fun to drive and have massive potential to be seriously fast cars, look at what they do with the a-series engines in the minis...

Car is also on eBaY

Not to be underestimated.

I take it these had the same 75 BHP as the MG and the 1275 Sport.

I had the Turbo with 92 BHP (GTA had same body kit and suspension as turbo IIRC ) and later my wife had the 1275 sport which had skinnier tyres than the Turbo or the GTA. I think they were 165/70 x 215 (about 12 1/4 inches) whereas the Turbo had 185/55 x 13

I wish I'd kept them both and if you've still got this in a couple of weeks I might be tempted.
