The MG Metro was introduced in October 1982 some 6 months after the launch of the MG Metro 1300. The MG Metro Turbo was a leader for its day with the Lotus Engineering assisted design for the very comprehensive changes that were done to the engine which was very capable of handling the modest 93 bhp the standard engine was quoted at, although many actually delivered closer to 100 in standard unmodified form. Later tuned race cars would push that power to 200bhp, a massive power level for that period and even more so for a 1300cc engine. Other positive features included powerful servo assisted brakes using four pot (piston) callipers and ventilated discs up front. The Turbo also came with a bodykit that provided a front spoiler and four wheel spats to go with the MG Metro rear spoiler and this together with the use of Turbo only specific larger 13” alloy wheels and low profile tyres the individual look was enhanced considerably. One of the pocket rockets of its day, only 22,000 were made and survivors very rarely come to market now.

This rare Metro Turbo from 1985 was first UK registered in February 1985 to a Doctor Goodchild from Leicester who is thought to have only covered local mileage and travel to the South before put the car into storage in 1988. Upon storage the car was fitted with bespoke ‘Carrobes’ seat covers which are still in place today, along with the fitted mats. Stored in the dark preserving the rubbers and plastics. Finished in complimentary Opaline Green metallic paintwork with Grey cloth interior, the Turbo has covered a total of 9,877 miles from new and only has 2 former keepers, with it coming from a large MG and classic car private collection in current custodianship. Supplied with a fitted Hamilton car cover, the Metro is rated ‘excellent’ throughout by the vendor. A worthy addition to any classic car collection!
