1993 Rover - Austin Metro 1.1c with mods review from UK and Ireland

None to date. But there is a flat spot when cold and the choke is put in too early! Nothing should go wrong with such a low mileage car for a long while!

For a 1.1 this car is very nippy and does not hang about. Its faster than the other 1.1's around. Its also gives a great mpg.

My car started life out as a 1.1c, but this being the bottom of the range model ment it did not have things like a Rev counter, clock or fag lighter. But when visiting a local scrap yard for parts for my friends Nova I found the parts listed above in higher spec Models. The clock plugged in fine and the fag lighter and Rev counter also fitted in with no problems, but needed to be wired up, but that was not that hard :-)

The interior was good as standard, but the GTi version is so much better so I fitted that in.

There lots of little bits of class with this car that makes my friend want one over his Nova. The very large door pockets, the rear window wiper washer jet is on the wiper itself so moves over the whole window and the interior does not look too dated like the others.

I have a GTi body kit to fit when I have the time and also some MPi alloys.

The Rover dealer has been very good as I asked if there was any discount on oil and new standard air filter and he knocked 60% off just like that!! Theres no harm in asking.
