The Frazer-Tickford Metro was a product of an in-house project by Aston Martin, built by Tickford during its stint under David Brown's Aston. Using an Austin Metro as the base, the British luxury brand breathed upon a number of modifications including an uprated engine performance-tuned by Aston Martin with a Weber twin-choke carburettor, a hotter camshaft and bigger valves with a gas-flowed cylinder head, producing 80bhp. In addition, the Tickford Metro would see uprated suspension, wider wheels, a full leather interior with widened seats, electric windows, a full body kit and more. Only 26 of these special vehicles were manufactured, with just 13 understood to have survived by the Tickford Club.

Suspected to be the only Tickford Metro to be delivered new to the Channel Islands, ‘YLB 632X’, or Number 16, was manufactured in 1981 and registered in 1983. In current ownership for the last 11 years and known to the current owner for 21 years prior, this Tickford Metro is presented in an attractive graduated Silver Leaf to Grey paint scheme with complementing Grey leather interior with Red piping, and is showing just 27,743 miles on the odometer (having covered just 999 miles in its current ownership; most of which the vendor informs us was to the NEC for various car shows). Additional specification includes Alcantara headlining; Wilton carpets; extensive sound-deadening throughout the interior; rare Uher stack stereo and graphic equalizer, a full bodykit, four Marchal fog lights, enamel Frazer and Tickford/Aston Martin name badges, tinted glass, sunroof, 5 1/2J alloy wheels and electric windows.

Recently subject to works including replacement alternator, starter motor, distributor, water pump, plugs and leads, re-cored radiator and new tyres, ‘YLB 632X’ comes with an impressive history file containing nearly every MOT since 1988, a large collection of invoices since its current ownership, owner’s manual and Haynes manual, 2 sets of keys and the current V5C document which displays 4 former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine and transmission as ‘Very Good’, with the electrical equipment, paintwork and interior trim as ‘Good’. Please note the oil pressure gauge is currently not working and will require attention.
