I've always liked the look of the sporty metros and this is a very good example.

Shame I'm in the market for a MGF and not a metro.

A good place to advertise will be metro power.


Gti Rims with tyres (all legal 3/4mm all round)


Legal requirment is 1.6mm across the centre 3/4 and visable on the rest, I trust this is just a typo.

Think he probably means 3 to 4 mm all round. Not three quarters. That is a track car for everyone out there giving the big .... "I'm gonna track my car" ..... etc etc

[Supercharged_Z]

to be honest this is a brilliant car for the road, effortless driving, great on fuel, cheap tax and insurance and cheap to repair if ever needed!!!

also will do well on track

[stamford]

Nice little pocket rocket there, wouldn't mind that myself for some fun.

[Supercharged_Z]

im half tempted to keep it as i havnt really had much intrest in it for the time its been for sale, but i have other plans and to many toys lol.

i still think its a brilliant road car and yesterday when the sun was out and hte mrs got in from work i decided to go for a blat in this and had a hoot with several cars also doing the same thing

cupra r
320 bmw who laughed at me for a tiny minite when i was behind them (3 in car with baseball caps lol)
some alfa special eddition thing
lancia delta thing
and a corsa 1.2 who i could see trying to catch me up at roundabouts lol..

put a smile on my face, cost me about 5 quid in fuel and as the engine is only lightly moddified its hardly a strain on it.. power to weight :D could just do with some better make/softer tyres

[Dave MGT]

1.6mm over 2/3.............. not 3/4

ummm...this is very tempting for me as a everyday car. Will see what happens with my insurance payout.

[Andyf]

Talkingcars is right, it is over the central 3/4 NOT 2/3

[Alan.F]

i think he means there is 3 to 4mm left on all 4 tyres

[Supercharged_Z]

Lol what a fuss yes 3-4 mm left on each tire

[stamford]

Dead giveaway...........mm after 3/4 ;)

[Tony10]

This is a dead on price! Hope you get this sold. I only wish I still had the passion for the K series engines or I would buy it off you! Grr!

[Dave ZS-X]

did it turn out to be a good track car ?

[Supercharged_Z]

never went on track with it, i think it would be quite a weapon on track with some r888s and a diff

[Bobdope2002]

wish i had £1500 shame ive just booked tickets to The Glade Festival In The Summer

[Supercharged_Z]

[Bobdope2002]

[Simon's ZS-120]

i would rip the engine out and put it in my zs and put the zs engine in that and flog it

[Jay-ZS+]

i would rip the engine out and put it in my zs and put the zs engine in that and flog it

If you want to do that why not get a smashed up 160 for a few hundred and rip the engine out of that?!!

[Dave MGT]

Why bother.....just get a 180!!! job done

[Jay-ZS+]

Why bother.....just get a 180!!! job done
