YO, this metro needs a loving new home. The stats are:
Age: 1992 K-reg
Mileage: 36k genuine!
MOT: Expired
Tax: End October 09
Location: Crewe, cheshire
Price: £120
I recently bought this Metro off eBay with a popped hydragas displacer, it was only 5 miles from my house and seemed interesting so I stuck a cheeky bid in. I won it of course and towed it home. I have looked it over and its in remarkable condition for an old Metro. Genuine 36k on the clock, totally original bodywork and mint interior. I have now fixed the hydragas with a S/H displacer so its running and driving. It drives very well in fact, no clonks or rattles, plenty of zip, everything is working including the original 4-speaker philips stereo. Cambelt is recent (have got a reciept) and it recently had a service costing £500! Tyres are all excellent. What are the bad points? 1) No MOT. I have looked it over in reasonable detail and the only fault I can find is welding is required to 1 sill at the rear end (see pic). I cant be arsed doing this as the car is in Crewe and my welding gear is in Peterborough. 2) rear arches are crusty, don't think they're an MOT fail but they could do with some TLC. 3) Its an auto.
Come and drive it away, theres 3/4 of a tank of juice and the tax is worth £30. I would not hesitate to go for a long drive in this, it seems a cracker. These pics are 'as is', it would benefit enormously from a T-cut, but I havent got time unfortunately.
This is the worst of the grot:
This is the bit required to pass the MOT (subframe mounts on both sides are tip top):
VGC underneath, NO WELDING!
Front footwells are mint too!
Interior is genuinely like new.
I only bought this to save it from the inevitable frag-feed-fate which awaited it, I have fixed its immediate problem and would now like it to go to someone who can make use of it. at £120 theres a drink in it for me, but i'll never get rich saving wibblepoo off the bay so someone please help me out and re-home this metro. I am contactable on 07800 902396 or drop us a PM. Cheers!
