Oooh, Lord Young is going to hate me for this! Sadly, I'm not getting on with the Metro. The suspension just isn't up to bombing along Fenland roads - the 2CV really is damn good when it comes to uneven surfaces. Recent MoT, tax available at discounted cost (has 11 months on it at the mo), clutch does judder but engine pulls very well. Totally original - sale even includes the original radio and handbook. Just serviced too. Some scabby bits but by usual Metro standards, this is remarkably rot-free. A bit gutted really - this was my mate's car and it even came to my wedding - but, I need something I can comfortably use. So, £375 or £450 with 11 months tax included. Or, may do a deal on something which is rather more compliant in the suspension area. Oh, it will soon be famous too - it'll be in Classic Car Weekly on 12th April.  |

CV joints clicking a bit this morning so I'm more than willing to negotiate on price. This car needs sorting out - I've saved it from the scrapheap but it deserves an owner who can get it back in top order.

Well, it didn't make it into CCW (well, no pics anyway) but it is still for sale! And I'm still open to swapsies. Car is now back in Northants as my 2CV is road legal once more. Hmmmm, Citroën suspension...
Going to miss that 1275 urge though!!

I have really got Metro love at the moment after going to see a VDP Auto for my Wife on Sunday. We did not get that car for the same reasons as your getting rid of yours but I loved it. As a daily Driver it may be a bit harsh but it was very fun to drive.

Well Pog, I think it churns out 63bhp, that's one heck of a kick after the mere 29bhp of the Deuche! More than twice the power!! Jeeze man! I'm flying!!!
Dime Bar - had a fantastic drive home after meeting Mike (Hi Mike) in Peterboghorror. The Metro really does display the same sort of fun factor as a Mini - but although it is still bouncy, the ride is much smoother than a rubber-sprung Min.

Am I trying to sell the automotive equivalent of leprosy or something? Willing to take the cost of the first service to get shot of this thing now. That was £300.
I know I slate this car for the harsh ride and juddery clutch but believe me, this thing is sooo much fun on a (flat) twisty section of road!! The Honda gets nowhere near matching it for hoonability.
