Make - MG
Model - Metro
Engine - 1.3
Mileage - 44469
Price - ????
ok here we have my classic 1988 MG metro 1300
the car has very low milage for its age and has always been garage stored in bad weather/ winter
i bought the car on 36000 miles and at 41500 i did a full service on the vehicle which included
- new oil filter
-replaced engine oil
-replaced rotor arm
-replaced dizzy cap
-replaced ht leads
-replaced spark plugs
the car is fully origional including a mint intirior and origional paintwork and graphics.
the wheels come for a metro turbo model
the car is incredably reliable and has never let me down! there isnt a lot to go wrong on these engines and it is very smooth.
it is fitted with an aftermarket radio, however i have the origional sterio to include along with both pairs of keys (including 2 petrol cap spares)
i have endless MOT certificates for every year the car has been on the road and i have endless reciepts for parts and previous services on a regular basis. it comes with the origional logbook and v5 certificate, haynes manual and metro megazine.
there is only one minor rust patch on the entire car located on the bonnet( i will get a photo for you) it is clean and rust free underneath and has been undersealed i do have a set of touch up paint i will also include in the sale specific colour match.
the only reason i considering selling the car is due to wanting a van to acomadate my new hobby of mountainbiking and because i do not want to greatly increase the mialage as i feel it's a shame and a classic car of such clean example should not be used as a daily comuter and should posably go to a car enthusiast. i origionally bought the car as a little run around whilst building my corsa redtop
what would you estimate the value of the car at?
many thanks, steve
