1987 Rover - Austin Metro City review from UK and Ireland
"You ain't drove til you drove a Metro!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspension mounts rusted away til there's nothing left!!!
Rear brake cylinder burst at 75mph on motorway!!!
General comments?
I love my Metro even though it's now sitting on the drive needing about £500 worth of welding doing to it to get it through the MOT.
There's a hole in the front wing I can fit my head through!!!
Apart from the rust this is a fantastic car, always started first time, never once broke down in the 12000 miles I did in 12 months, for the £200 I paid that ain't bad.
Engine sounds knackered now since I got it up to 112MPH and only stopped when the exhaust fell off - very very very scary, wouldn't recommend!!!
Just wish it was worth spending the money to put it back on the road, but I can't bare the thought of sending my little Metro to the scrap yard.
FANTASTIC CARS, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ONE!!
