1992 Rover Metro GTI mpi For Sale

For sale
1992 Rover Metro GTI 16v
Restoration project
2 Previous owners
45k miles
Bought from an older gentleman who had the car from 1994 and used it regularly up until 2018.
Ive owned the car for 3 years and unfortunately haven’t got very far with it in that time. I bought the car with MOT and in supposed ‘roadworthy’ condition, it obviously needed welding work at the time and I had the intention to restore it. Im coming to the realisation that with various time and financial constraints this is now unlikely in my ownership.
Decent service history and full Rover book pack, mostly from the early 90s. Previous owner did most simple servicing himsef but their are various receipts and invoices
Desirable early mpi GTI with the cast inlet manifold, the early (pre BMW takeover) 1. 4 K-series being much less likely to suffer the headgasket issues that plagued later, higher capacity Ks
All original inside and out, with full proper GTI bodykit, side rub strips and arch spats. Inside the ‘lightning’ interior is in excellent condition. The passenger and rear bench look almost unused, the drivers seat could do with a wet vac but is in otherwise excellent condition
The shell is fairly solid (for a Metro!) but does require obvious welding, as shown in the photos. the outer sill at both sides needs attention on the rear. As do both inner wings. The floor has had a couple of patch repairs before but will require attention to the passenger footwell and a small repair is needed on the driverside inner sill. Furthermore theres a small hole in the passenger side door shut. All very common Metro areas and fairly easily repairable for anyone with decent welding ability. Its fairly inevitable any Metro for sale has its share of crust, atleast there’s be no nasty surprises in this case!
The filler neck is also pretty shot, as it just sits unprotected in the wheel well. However included in the sale is a replacement neck in excellent condition. Passenger door looks to have been changed at some point.
Unfortunately the front screen has been cracked during storage. These are still available new in GTI green from Rimmer Bros and a new seal is included.
With well sorted GTIs now commanding £7k+ and the earlier Turbo half as much again I believe Ive priced the car fairly as a fairly straight forward project but Im of course open to near offers.
