I love the look of this, I had been keeping half an eye out for a A series 1275cc Metro but none seem in my budget any more.

 

The big question is would I enjoy driving a diesel Metro?

You will enjoy the minimum 53 m.p.g.

I think these most have the highest sills of any modern car that I can think off, you can trip over those bloody sills just getting onto the car.

The arches had been repaired by a previous owner, looks like filler as they are starting to bubble through, although last time I looked not a major issue any time soon.

There were also signs of a repair on the drivers side inner arch behind the fuel filler pipe and previous welding repairs to passenger side sill.

Its passed 2 mot's since then, the rest of the body is good apart from age related marks. 

I'm collecting it next Monday, will have a more detailed look then and take some more pics. I also have a ramp available for any perspective buyer to examine it.
