Twitches of Austin
The MG Metro 1300 Turbo is the English way of participating in the Lower Regions of the Hot Hatchback segment in the 80s. This Red Model Received its First Dutch Registration in 1986. A Compact Turbo Engine in the Class of Cars Like the Fiat Uno and Renault 5, which were then Known As City Cars, Guaranteed a Spectacle. Austin/Rover (Formerly British Leyland) Brought in the MG Brand to Market The Fastest Versions of Their Brave Austin Models More Attractively. This 1300 Turbo Delivers a Modest 94 HP, much less than the fiat uno turbo ie and the renault 5 gt turbo that came out in 1985, but that shouldnn’t spoil the fun more than forty years later. If you are a fan of the genre, just the heart of the enchant of German, French or Italian hot hatchbacks will beat faster from this original copy that we see for sale.
Almost Every Manufacturer had Such a Small Shred of Iron in the Second Half of the 80s. It was the time of red piping, spoilers and QUITE A LOT or stickers. Of Course, This MG Metro 1300 Turbo also Has Thick Wheel Arch Edges. There are 176,000 kilometers on the odometer of this model and the car looks as if it has always leg pampered, no boyracer has ever unleashed his testosterone-driven wild driving style on it, we suspect. And the fact that an enthusiast has driven it is evident from the tires. Yokohashas, certainly not a b-fire that sits around the nice light-alloy Wheels with manhole cover design!
The Metro Came On The Market As Austin, and With It the Brand Wanted to Make People Forget the Original Mini. The remarkable high little car never succeeded in that. Not even when mg came to stand on it. The Metro would last for a long time because austin as a brand no longer existed, as so many brands from the huge bmc went bankrupt, the metro continued as the 100 series from rover.
Not as fast ax 205 gti and 5 gt turbo
The 1300 Turbo Engine Delivers 94 HP, 100 HP was pretty much the standard for a hot version in this segment. The Counter Goes Bravely to 200 km/h, on the counter the Car Comes Pretty Close to that Including Counter Deviation: The Manufacturer Specifics 180 km/h as Top. The 850 kg Turbo takes you from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.8 seconds. In Those Days You Saw Peugeot 205 GTI and Renault 5 GT Turbo Drivers Disappear Far Out of Sight, And of Course Not in Your Rearview Mirror. With Their Much Stronger Engines, They Were Much Faster.
But four decades later that is not what it is about. It is a beautiful time capsule with nice details. A Kind of on-board computer Against the headline with a real turbo boost meter. It just Doesn’t Get More 80s than that! The rest of the interior is also decorated accordance to the then current hothatch fashion.
