The MG Metro was introduced in May 1982 some 18 months after the closure of the MG factory at Abingdon. MG’s first attempt at the then new ‘hot hatch’ era, it was the perception of many manufacturers that most car buyers were concerned open top two seat sports cars were something from the past. The MG Metro boasted some quite positive features for the day including the standard use of powerful servo assisted brakes using four pot (piston) calipers up front, very competitive performance and superb economy courtesy of the responsive and well proven A+ series engine. With around 120,000 made between 1982 and 1990, most are of the facelift variant launched in October 1984 where the bonnet line was lowered and streamlined, and a new interior and dash moulding was introduced.
This MG Metro was manufactured in 1984 and first registered in the UK in October that year, it has only covered 25,000 miles from new across three total keepers, the third of which being the extensive private collection from which the Metro is being offered. Resprayed to the cost of circa £5,000 in the original shade of metallic Zircon Blue, the Metro is presented with Grey cloth interior and fetching Red carpets. With colour coded bumpers from new, and having been fitted with new graphics, refurbished alloys, and new chrome wheel centres in 2020, ‘B95 AEG’ is also offered with a Hamilton fitted car cover, original launch pack and assorted documents. A scarce opportunity to obtain a low mileage and owners, original specification example, rated in ‘excellent’ condition throughout by the vendor!
