Description
1984 Austin Metro 1. 3L
One previous owner
26000 original miles
MOT and tax exempt
The car runs and drives very well indeed, with recent work including new hydragas units all round, rebuilt carburettor, new exhaust manifold gasket, new battery and new brake master cylinder. Also new tailgate struts and new screen washer motors have been replaced. Fully serviced in March this year.
The original metric wheels were impossible to find tyres for, so fully refurbished Mk1 12” wheels with new Yokohama tyres and new centre caps and clips have been fitted (including spare)
Also fitted is a retro style Blaupunkt DAB Bluetooth stereo and extra speaker, in a bespoke matching blue enclosure under the dash, replacing the mw/ lw original unit.
The interior is in excellent condition with the seat fabric unmarked and free from wear, along with the carpets, now protected with fitted overmats.
The Mk1 1. 3L is a very rare model indeed, only made for about 6 months before the Mk2 was launched.
There are some old invoices and nice bits of original paperwork with the car- supercover/ service booklet, tax discs etc. 3 sets of keys, original supplying dealer keyring and rear window sticker still in place.
Whilst the car presents very well, there are some small age related marks, touch ups etc around the car, and the front valance would benefit from being replaced- a new valence will be supplied. The clock is inoperative, and I have not had a chance to investigate.
Also supplied are 2x original style rear mudguards and 2x front side repeaters to wire in should you wish, which I haven’t got around to fitting.
Only selling due to change in circumstances- I spent a long, long time waiting for the right Metro to come up and will be really sad to see it go. Ready to use and enjoy!
