1989 Austin Rover Metro 1.3GS Blue For Sale

This is an advert for my beloved Metro, George. He's been part of the family for 17 years and is a reluctant sale due to lack of use and lack of funds to keep him in good condition. I've done 40, 000 trouble free miles with him - he has genuinely never let me down.

Has MOT until November and does get run up regularly, spent £6000 on cosmetic restoration five years ago. He's not perfect, there are small spots of tin worm reappearing but nothing significant. Engine had precautionary maintenance at the same time - reshelled bottom end, rebuilt gearbox and new intermediate gear. It has done 109, 000 miles but will remain sweet so long as it's looked after.

Still running his original 315mm steel wheels, I think I bought every NOS dunlop out there to keep him on original rubber! The stereo is modern, but I've kept his original Philips and it can go with him.

George is one of the last Austin shaped metros built and is part of a dying breed. He needs someone who is willing to invest in his continued survival.
