It is absolutely fantastic. I know @Skizzeris a metro fan! I wonder how much they'd actually sell it for before Auction End? I am a Metro fan, and a launch spec 1.3S in metallic brown is about perfect. It needs quite a lot of love though. I’ll chip in money and remote encouragement if someone steps up, but that’s about it as I have no more space and too many projects already. I wish it were not so, but it is.

Timewaster Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I quite like that miniMETRO but it is a £500 car in my book. I remember my uncle had a really early bASe which was on a W or X reg. Predated the City. Black vinyl seats, 1 mirror, no reverse lights. It died after he drove it 150 miles with the oil pressure light on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the days of them being a £500 are long gone, tbh, especially an early and half decent one. crad and BeEP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea on the shipping costs but if you are buying a South African DS make sure it is one that has a higher value like a late model DS23IE Pallas or, if there are any left, a Slough car that will be worth £40k plus when restored.

I'd recommend watching this before importing anything. Some of the video is Alfa specific, but it all applies to most cars. It's quite an interesting insight into the SA Classic car export industry. horriblemercedes and SteersWithThrottle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into importing an early Range Rover from South Africa a few years ago and this would have been interesting to see at the time. I didn't do it in the end, mainly because of concerns that the video addressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I bought a 38k-mile, one owner, 1983 Metro 1.3 from the local auction in 2001 for a fiver. Unfortunately the engine out of that would be worth about 85p even now as it was an automatic and the AP autobox is a steaming pile of donkey dung.

I’m normally a bit ‘whatevs’ about supercars and ‘proper’ classics as I know I will never afford one, but I was quite taken by the Espada. I could see myself smoking around in one, (wrongly) thinking I look awesome. I just love the way that the roof of the Espada is as low as the roof of the car towing it even though it's sat on a trailer. 😄 willswitchengage, Disco Fever and worldofceri 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate had one in his paintshop in primer as it was there for a complete respray. I can't remember if it was going from red to blue, or blue to red. But I do remember how low the roof was, how low the seats were in it (and how close they must have been to the road surface) and how massive it seemed to bein width and length. Never saw it finished, but bet it looked amazing. Cavcraft, worldofceri, Shite Ron and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
