  • That French Metro ad is shocking bad!

  • @discocreator76 This car was designed in an era when the British buyer was starting to think "Hang on I am not buying this pile of junk just because it is British I have a choice as a consumer" For SO long they thought they could get away with making pap cars like the Allegro and Maxi and people would just keep buying them because they were British.HOW WRONG WERE THEY. It was simply Years of lack of investment and poor built cars that finally killed Rover/MG in 2005. Most people saw it coming.

  • I remember this on the tv, A good advert for a terrible car. Rust came through on the bodywork, the paint on the rear window rusted through the carpet molted strands of fiber like a dog and the deferential crown wheel cracked in half bursting the case. How we wished we had never seen the bloody advert.

  • @mikeluscher159 Why am I not surprised? LOL

  • @732lover yes, thats rust :(

  • 6:21 is it just me or does that look like a rust spot on the door?

  • at the end british car industry drove over the cliff

  • this is a great set of  videos x 3 love it !!

  • why didn't that ad also include the Americans with the Ford Fiesta? yes, it may be built in spain but that is an AMERICAN nameplate

  • Never mind the Germans, Japanese, Italians or French invaders, it was the Spanish built American owned fiesta that really hammered the metro. What fords are built here now GM and Ford motor Co. have killed our only volume producer. Who were the biggest importers in the 70's and 80's?

  • @BLHeritageFilms Thankyou for uploading!!. I have a mk1 minimetro L. It was ziebarted from new. Think that helped the rust issue alot.
