Lot Ended
Description
Showing 55,000 miles only; Vanden Plas manual gearbox; ideal for the
1980s fan
First registered in May 1985, this
Metro displays all the right detail to be shown at that Metro festival you have
been planning on going to for years!
Presenting
well for the auction, it was last put through an MOT on the 1st June
this year which revealed no advisories and has driven just over 5,000 miles
since. (NOT actually true - it has in fact only travelled about 20 miles since
the last MOT.
We understand from Experian that
this Metro was originally gold coloured but is of course now sporting its flashy
dark blue with striking red detail, associated go-faster sticker work and some
new looking METRO mud flaps. (Yes, that is what you can see hanging down in the
main photo!)
We have to assume that a lot of
money has been spent on this car at one point, given the appearance it has
inside, outside and within the pretty impressive looking engine bay, although
there is little paperwork to confirm when this was done.
It should be noted that although the V5C states it is an auto, it
does in fact have a manual gearbox fitted.
NB. As photographed, the
original dash is included in the sale, which appears to have developed some
faults at one point. The online MOT history shows a steady increase of miles
over the years, so although the current mileage showing on the new dash may not
be exactly accurate for the car, it is believed to be VERY
close!
