I'd love this car. Originally registered locally to me at Fletchers in Carmarthen Road Swansea. It was a huge BL dealership that now sadly longer exists in any shape or form. This is an extremely late run out 1989 model year A series engined Metro - Sunroof and Radio cassette were standard. On these very last original Metros the Fuel filler was re -positioned in readiness for the new 1990 Rover K series cars. My Neighbour bought an identical spec car in red in the spring of 1989 from the said dealers F40ECY.
My mother bought hers from fletchers in Cwmavon Henley Blue “G591GTH”
Them alloys look really nice. They suit it well.
Another awesome video! They get better and better!
Great in depth review man! 👍🏻👍🏻
The steering wheel sat offset centre in the Mk1 Metro
Great video Tom. Had 2 metros and loved them both. 👍👍👍👍
Lovely little gem, I can see why owner fell for it.
I had a much later model, loved it in British Racing Green, badged as Rover 114 with a 1,4 engine 😁 loved it
Flippin hell man you made me laugh lol funny guy, love it haha
On point in this one haha
The 1980-1990 Metro was 1.0 or 1.3. The 1.1 was a K-series and came along with the Rover Metro in 1990. By the time this particular car came out, the Austin name had been dropped - officially it didn't have a marque name from 1988 to 1990.
The 1980-1990 Metro was also sold in some markets, but not here in the UK, with the 848cc A Series engine. I wonder just how slow they are.
@@Richard-Bullock Pretty sure that isn't true. The 848cc was never available as A+ Series, and the A+ was developed for the Metro. Some may have been converted later, though why anyone would do that is baffling..
@@robincook3367 It is true. And who said anything about it having to be an A+ though? Some European countries had tax breaks for cars under 900cc. Which is also the reason why Fiat rejigged their 903cc engine down to 899cc.
Love your videos Tom. We had an E reg Metro Principals. So gutted my parents part ex it. Also gel up your hair!
A great find! Not crazy about the wheels, but the rest, well, it's classic. And I like that.
Great review Tom!
Those wheels are great!
A sweet little metro. An absolutely great review
Hello, cool video, do you know what size the wheels are? also whats the offset and stud width. We have the same year and they don't make the metric tyres anymore so we're looking at swapping the wheels to get an imperial wheel, 13" would be ideal. Thanks for any tips : )
Had a 1.1s with the 5 speed box, great fun until I wrote it off 3 months after passing my test.
You sure they put the 1098cc A series in the Metro?
I think so, I read it somewhere but now I’m convinced I’ve confused it with the 1.1 K series in the MK3
@@tomdrives A Series engined Metro's were 998 and 1275, never got the 1098.
@@NeilM1 Some countries also got the 848cc engine. Not here in the UK though.
I thought it was just the 998cc and the 1275cc.
That’s correct, had a brain fart no going back now 🤙
@@tomdrives at least we can see you know your A Series engines...
Brilliant. M.
Is the Metro a 3/4 scale model or is this guy a giant?
Tom is a tall lad but the metro is a small car by today's standards
Ask for a subscriber at the end of your posting, seeing you asked before viewing its put me off.
no. I’ve got videos with 10k+ views, when I don’t ask for it at the start nobody remembers that’s how YT works.
Has this bloke cut his own hair?
