retrogeezer Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Whats the story with it??? Looks like the base model with vinyl seats??Funny, when they came out I preferred the bigger headlights with integrated indicators - now I prefer the small headlights.

mr-reno-139 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 just to cheer at least some people up there was a mini/ metro banger race meeting today at mildenhall suffolk 150+ metros will have been destroyed so they are going to be a little rarer now (or maybe more valuable !!)

Guest greenvanman Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 CRUSH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!WORD!I failed my first driving test in one just like that. I've driven a few more over the years since (especially a 310 van with dodgy radius arms) and found them to be charmless, badly-made rustbuckets with no redeeming features whatsoever. I know they're autoshite and everything, but I hate them. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're autoshite and everything, but I hate them. Sorry.A friend of mine had an E-reg 310 van. The original engine died so we slotted in a 1275 unit from a perforated MG Metro. Being a bit lighter than most metros, it could beat most other cars to 60 and was infinitely more fun to drive (till we crashed it ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrognome Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 ooohhh but thats a lou-lou, the usual rust around the front valance seams and the placky seats (as mentioned) together with the lack of a radio-mast give it away as a poverty-specker.Where is it? I would buy it for a dollar BTW I am not far from you......I get all the luverly smells from Heinz!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 i know the seller. And if i had the money it would coming up the m6 to preston to live with me. I do love these gas sprung go karts. And poverty spec means less to go wrong. Its been saved from the scrappy twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I had one A58VGT (miss you!) I drove that around the UK, Europe and Ireland, loved it, 998cc A+, great engine (infact it was fast beyond its CC's), great car, everything was just basic and good, if I saw this car again I would buy it like a shot! Simple, basic, totally functional motoring, more comfortable and refined than an R 5, felt more solid than a Starlet, faster than a Fiesta, this car was the nuts!...had to hold it in second though!
