eBay tat volume 3.

I didn't buy the S-Type 3.0 manual I linked to previously but now of course my ebay feed is full of cheap jags. This one appeared at the bottom and I clicked on it assuming it would just be yet another X300 with a saggy headlining, but it is in fact an X350 with a starting price of half a bag. No clues from the terrible listing what's wrong with it.

Okay, granted, not for 8k, but I would love ot have one of those.

Europe's most underrated 60s saloon, a secret weapon for those in the know, a real thinking man's Alfa Giulia.

Considering most folks thinking I have an old Lada is classed as a not inconsiderable bonus,

since I don't even give as much as a fiddler's fart about what folks think.

1986 (D) Austin Metro 1.3L 3 Door Hatchback

 
I saw this Metro in the corner of an old tyre fitting centre. I was amazed to find that it had only covered Just over 16 thousand miles and was in the hands of the solicitors who were dealing with the assets of the owner that had unfortunately past away.
 
 

The hydrolastic suspension fluid was drained and replaced ( set to the correct standard height )

ts a diesel LWB 11a model and is more or less complete, very very rusty (broken chassis), 

non running project, complete with the V5 registration in my name. Obviously, it will need to be collected on a flat bed trailer and I can assist with the loading with a fork lift truck.

That Metro has its 'original metric tyres' fitted...

 

...its been wax oiled regularly since new. has its original Metric Michelin tyres, unit part brakes - everything!...

 

Factory air? [for the lickers n beards, y'know]

 

 

TS

I have a pair of metro metric tyres on rims but one is bent, if you were really desperate they would be original.

The new front wings look crap. If anyone wanted it to look like every other mk1 Metro, it’s paramount that the wings are lined up badly, and painted at least three shades out from the original colour.

1/10 for authenticity.
