Rotherham, South Yorkshire

1987 E Plate metro Van in several fetching shades (mainly yellow hammerite).

MOT to 20th June, no Tax (I can tax it for you if you give me the money).
Plenty of old MOTs to back up the mileage.
3 former keepers.
Standard (none original) 998 engine fitted (correct spec for the vehicle, unleaded, high comp, 3.6:1 final drive).
Rough 75,000 miles although it doesn't have the original clocks fitted (supplied, but faulty).
Brand new standard exhaust system (pea shooter) and radiator.
12" Alloy Wheels (would benefit from a refurb).
MG Turbo body Kit, grille and spoiler.
Tinted rear window (so nobody can see the load space).
MG Metro dash clocks.
Metro GTi lightening bucket seats and matching door cards.
MK 1 MG metro steering wheel.
Fairly solid body, but has had lots of welding over the years (filler in wing tops).
Ideal rolling restoration project - I have a large number of the panels to restore it available by separate negotiation.
All original 'van features' still present (rear bulkhead and grille, all original additional panel work).
Front shockers with original inner wing supports fitted.
Lowered 20mm and rear hydrogas cans individualized.

We are looking for £650 as it is or £700 with a fresh MOT.











You probably all know this, but... over the years the van has been used for all sorts. When we first bought it, we entered it into a banger rally round europe, and won. *happy* Paris, Munich, Prague, Amsterdam and then home. 2200 Miles in 5 days.



Since then, we have used it for drag racing, with a little sprinting thrown in for good measure.

It was running a turbo charged 1275 running in excess of 200BHP.





It's finest hour.



PM me if you are seriously interested.

And no, I will not swap take a brown porker 924 in part ex...

If only I had the money! But tbh it'd sit around for a long time before anything got done.

It's just time for it move on. We both have mini to concentrate on and I plan to have mine on the road for the summer.

Maybe somebody can improve on what we started...

to lower properly you need to cut the cans down. there's a guide on metro power. to individulize them you need a couple of new valves and a couple of female to female brake fittings.
