They’ve got a point. When my son was born we had a two door car and had to borrow my Dad’s (4 door)to collect my wife from the hospital.

Also shows how BL failed. Worse car there, by far the most expensive.

Whilst longevity wasn't factored into their design and construction, Metros remained one of Britain's most popular cars over the majority of their period of production. People actually liked them and they were a decent little motor to drive.

The best car my mum ever had was her 114 GSI (they've rebadged it you fool etc...). That was a great little thing to bomb around in. Unfortunately she had a light front end knock, somebody pulled out in front of her and she couldn't quite stop in time. At first glance it looked OK but then you realised the wing had moved back and was catching on the door.

For the last decade or so she has had a Micra CC resprayed Honda Jazz pink with stick on sparkly bits everywhere. She's 77. Funnily enough I've never borrowed that.
