1988 Rover - Austin Metro GTa review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots, new gearbox, rear radius arms, new clutch, new exhaust, new starter motor, new disc brakes.
General comments?
Cheap car but insurance far too high for young drivers. Needs five gears. But easily tuned up to beat Novas. Needs to be thrashed to get anywhere but looks quite good and handles surprisingly well due to fat wheels.
