This is a proper little British hot hatch legend of the 90s! This MG Metro Turbo comes in traditional metallic green with famous red MG decals. Becoming a very rare sight on the roads these days, this little mighty Metro turns heads everywhere it goes. The car has recent had a light mechanical recommission and is ready to enjoy on the B roads this Summer. The Metro Turbo was the essence of small car cool in the early 1980s but are now as rare as the proverbial hen’s teeth. The formula was simple - take a lightweight, three-door hatch with the proven 1,275cc A-Series and add a turbo. Featuring a Garrett T3 turbo, the engine was developed by Lotus Engineering, increasing power from 70bhp to 93bhp with a decent increase in torque and performance.

Subject to some minor recommissioning, service, and carburettor rebuild in 2023 to the sum of £1027. Sporting smart interior in Grey Velour with red piping, MG motif, contrasting red seat belts, and red carpets throughout. Supplied with its original handbooks, sales brochure, and some invoices. These are becoming increasingly rare and desirable, be sure not to miss this one before prices continue to rise.
