Rover 100 1.1 111 Ascot 3dr 1998/R * NEW MOT AND SERVICE * | eBay 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 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod/b Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I reckon 1250 quid for a fucking rotten old Metro is more deserving of the “Bargains” thread. Motown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Motown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 :) Motown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Motown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 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. 124Cab, BeEP, Burnside and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
