Picked this up today and frankly I havent got the heart to kill it, especially as they are dissappearing at a ludicrous rate, and only 41 of this Quest model still on the road 
Its a 1992 Rover Metro Quest 1.1 with the earlier K8 SU carb engine....with manual choke!!!
Has a 4 speed box and has done 77,000 miles
It even has MOT until 25th May 2019!!!
However, this gem has just decided to get head gasket failure, cue lots of surprise by absolutely no-one.
It does however, still drive!!
According to the previous owner, if you had the heaters blowing hot and the windows open, she would carry on driving.
Is she the mintiest Metro you've ever seen? Nope.
Crack in windscreen on passenger side
But shes a good base car to do something meaningful with, or grass track race, but its got to be better than killing it off down the scrappy either way.
I don't like them, but ive always had a soft spot for something that doesnt deserve to be crushed when so few are left.
Located in Radstock near Bath.
Offers welcome and delivery possible if not a mega distance away.
