Just thought id share with you lot the reason i sold the saloon:









46K miles, FSH + all previouse mot's, regularly wax-oiled = one very clean metro

top work matey....do for some reason really like these.

[gunny]

I think they're very retro/cool looking personally. Awesome to drive too, it like a mini but feels a bit sturdier

[draper]

mate of mine used to have a turbo, was uber fun

[gunny]

Thats the route im going hopefully, 1380cc low comp 16v turbo if all goes to plan Should be getting the bottom end sometime this month.

Nice purchase mate! A mates mother used to have a yellow GT-a, hers had red belts though, is there an 8 and 16v version? I remember there being a difference somewhere .

Retro cool.

I'd kill for a yellow GT-a, saw one sell on ebay for £1200 IIRC, the austin metro's were a-series engines the same as minis, all 5 port 8 valves. The later Rover metro's were GTA 8 valve 1.4 and GTI 16 valve 1.4. all good fun to drive but i just dont like the look of the later ones, they they do accept VVC's and Vtec engines easily
