1986 Austin Metro Vanden Plas-One owner from new SOLD

This is the classic 'one lady owner from new and never been raced or rallied’! This car has been with one family since new and maintained too a high standard. Metro Vanden Plas's are now extremely rare cars. According to the web site "How Many Left" there are only ten examples currently licenced for use on UK roads. There may be others overseas.

The car is currently SORN but has been used on the road at some part of every year, and has an MOT until February 28th 2020 (see photographs). Overall condition is good and there is some very minor surface rust on the rear wheel arches, edges of front and rear valances. The doors and front wings are rust free. The car needs a good home and some TLC and it will be a stunner!

The car has always been garaged and is now an appreciating asset.
