This Austin Metro Vanden Plas has a believed to be genuine 61,784 total mileage on the clock. The vendor tells us that the 2-door saloon was his mother's car from new, being first registered 1 January 1983 and always garaged in Bournemouth. Later, a relative became the registered keeper, but used it very little and it was stored for several years by the current keeper.
The bodywork is described as being completely sound and rust-free, with red metallic paintwork original with only minor blemishes. Other than some wear on the driver's floor mat, the interior is claimed to be unmarked and the woodwork as new.
The 1275cc 90bhp 4-cylinder engine displays no apparent wear, says the vendor, and the clutch was relined not long before the car was stored. The tyres are said to be only 30 per cent worn and the battery has been recently renewed.
Contributing to the car's high specification are alloy wheels, anti-glare glass sunroof, Alpine radio-cassette, leather-covered sports steering wheel and electronic ignition.
Please Note: This vehicle now has a full 12 months MOT and a brand new exhaust system.
