1993 Rover - Austin Metro 100 review from UK and Ireland
"If you have a good one keep it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well the fuel tank went, then the rear wheel bearings, then the battery and alternator, followed by poor wheel tracking. The back brakes needed new shoes and adjusters 1t 68000 miles. When bought I replaced the exhaust system, but not the catalytic converter. The thermostat blew twice caused by poor fitting.
General comments?
This is a classic car. Its road holding is excellent and its limitations must be apreciated, its not an e type, but handles well.
