My 1982 Retro Metro taxed and mot.
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi there its come time to sell my little metro runabout. Was going to be my turbo project and eventually khead turbo but ive decided to do my mini now and have bought a mk2 golf as a run around so dont need it anymore

I bought it off an old guy who had it for 18 years before me (hence rspb, national trust, wwf and radio 3 stickers ) and im only the 4th owner and have had it almost a year now.

Its a 1982 mini metro city (budget spec, 1 wing mirror 1 sun visor etc)

Nearly 82,000 on the clock (not too bad considering its 25 years old) Runs good (very very slow though ), tickover a bit eratic but a quick tune should sort that.

Clutch slave cylinder was replaced before i got it and looks new.

Its in good condition for a metro of this age the old guy before me looked after it. Has had a few patches on sills and in boot floor to get through past mot's but nothing major.

Comes as in pics with 13x6 revolution rfx's ( not in the best of conditions, the centres are good but the laquers a bit naff round the rims. Nothing a bit of time, stipper and buffing would cure) Have the original steelies too.

Has cobra le mans (i think thats what they are) reclining seats.

Has metro turbo dails with rev counter and led boost gauge (not linked to anything at the moment) I used the original speedo to keep the speed and milage right. I have the other parts of the dails i didnt use too.

MOT till november.

Tax till end of may.

Lots of original features like the old radio and 1 speaker in the dash

BAD BITS

Not many but paint flaked a little on door where some1 tried to steal it.

Bit of rust in corners of rear valance where the mudflaps (now in the bin) had been siliconed on. Not too bad easily sorted.

Any questions etc pm me. Thought id offer it on TM before egay.

Looking for around £450 be a bit different to a mini

Last 1 is how i wanted to do it

it looks in good nick
maybe john flan would be intrested in this for a spare .. god forbid

hi is the car still for sale??
