Hi, just saw a metro that looked really nice on ebay, but it says the engine is nackard. just thought id put a link incase anyone hadn't noticed it and wanted to save it.

cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-AUSTIN-METRO-L-WHITE-/140565339370?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item20ba58dcea

looks like a bit of a project

Its not mine btw lol just noticed it when i was looking at metros

150 quid with a fooked engine, knackerd front vallance, suspension pump needed, by time uve spent the money and time sorting it out, youve spent as much as just buying a fairly tidy road goe'r, i know theres not many left now, but there are enuff floating around, seller threatening 2 scrap it aswell, always a good way 2 irritate people and encourage the messers to offer you "50quid and il take it"

Thats true i guess. Always fanceyd a metro... but i don't think theres enough room in them really to be practical.

Well its probably up for less than "Weigh it in money" and its got to be a fair price and a good little project for a spanner monkey or somebody to modify if they like to get their hands dirty.
Personally, and i could be way out of line ( just like the digits are on the speedo) people moan if a car is too expensive then they moan when its too cheap!! For chrissakes its a cheap ten a penny motor!!
Shove a 1275 lump in, rip the interior out, throw in some bucket seats and you have a very cheap little car to throw about until it dies then weigh it in and get you money back.
Bargain!
