Most of you will know by now i am a huge Rover fan and its always nice to see the cars being restored or appreciating in value but £1250 for a Metro???

You can get a V6 or a V8 rocket ship for that price 😆

I reckon 1250 quid for a fucking rotten old Metro is more deserving of the “Bargains” thread.

Alex Issigonis was a twat.

Austin Workers at Longbridge had a reputation for building shite. 

Put the 2 together and you get a small car that in unworthy of its popularity. 

The only reason it is better than say a fiat 126 is that it's faster. 

And I say that having owned a 126, 4 minis, 2 metros, (and a BINI)

I kind of meant the prices they go for, but thanks for the British motor industry history lesson - it’s a pretty good summary, I have to admit  :)

Yeah, Metro prices are all over. I paid about a quarter of that for mine with less rust, same miles but more lacquer peel. Oh, and mine is a desirable* early one. 😂

But then I've seen Un-MoT'd ones advertised for 500 - 700 quid! It's like R8s, just because you want them to be worth more, doesn't mean they automatically are.... 

ARAS.

I'm sure it's more complex, but how the mini survived 40 years amazes me.

Didn’t it take that long to get it to starting becoming profitable?

It looks in good nick, low mileage, full ticket, 23 yrs old, is £1250 too much? Seems a decent price to me, from a dealer as well. It's hardly a £6k white room 'pie in the sky' job is it.

There is, it’s called the “Ebay Bargains” thread.

If you want a real bargain there is a Rover 100 on Ebay for £3495...makes this one look a bargain!
