sorry, im new to this metro lark but did they ever do any with 5 gears?

[MetroMartin]

@gradicafc the 1.1 and 1.4 versions can come with 5 gears from 1990 onwards.

Minispares do a 5 speed gearbox for eariler examples if you want to retro fit.

is that a 1300cc MG Metro? My sister had one in silver grey. If I remember correctly, the steering was quite heavy at low speeds! Nice car though...

[MetroMartin]

@MrStraight6 Hi, thanks, Yes, MG Metro 1300, steering is heavy by todays standards as it doesn't have power steering.

@MetroMartin Mine was a rover gti 1.4 It could pull 120 mph! (actually I suspect it could do more but I never pushed it that hard)

My God thats so rare,this car was made when i was 12 (i'm 40 now) how did you stop it from dissolving away? It's passed from being new,then used,on to the not too old but affordable stage, to old banger status and finally into the realms of collectorship.Keep hold of it, for surely now it is a museum piece.For me,it brings back memories of a simpler time in my life.

I remeber my mum bringing back a brochure from the local BL dealer with the new 1983 Metro range in it, she eventually chose the 1.3 HLE version in Silver Leaf Metallic, funny how you remember these things!! Car rotted like a peach and was scrap in 7 years though!!
