1987 Rover - Austin Metro Turbo review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 2 years I've had 3 gearboxes and heads gone once.
General comments?
After boring it out and having a 1.5 fitted it goes like a rocket. I kill my friends Sierra Cossie no doubt every time (Honest).
But very fun to drive, I've had 148mph but slowed as I couldn't control it after.
