The Metro was launched as the Austin Mini Metro in 1980 and was intended as the replacement for the long-running and successful Mini. During its 18-year lifespan, the Metro bore many names including the Rover Metro which arrived in 1990, as a heavily revised version with several option engine options available. In December 1994 the revised R6 model appeared. In the United Kingdom, Rover finally scrapped the Metro nameplate, replacing it with a new name, Rover 100, which had been adopted on continental Europe on the Rover Metro's launch in 1990, due to the weakness of the Austin marque in Europe. The mechanics of the car remained much the same with 1.1 and 1.4 petrol engines and Hydragas suspension. The Metro Cabriolet was initially a Rover Special Products (RSP) car, built at Longbridge, on the same basis as the Mini Cabriolet – slotted in and out of the regular model production process wherever possible, so that it benefited from proper priming and paint processes.
Offered here is a low mileage example of the exceedingly rare Rover (Metro) 114 Cabriolet, reported to be in very good order, including the fully operational hood and showing a very credible recorded mileage of just 11,542 miles, and with an MOT running through to the end of January of 2024. The accompanying paperwork includes old MOTs, spare keys and a 2020 service invoice recording a cambelt change and cylinder head gasket / studs replacement etc. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an excellent example of what must be one of the rarest models in the ‘Metro’ range with time yet to enjoy the summer sunshine!
