I would describe it as agricultural, mechanical and extremely loud. You need Iron man muscles with the clutch and the gear change is laboured but it is a hoot to drive short distances and the sound is hard to beat.
If I was to use one word to sum it up...........awesome
I'd love to read a lot more about this, any chance of a Readers' Ride thread?If I was to use one word to sum it up...........awesome

I now own an Italian spec 1972 280CE with a A/C and a 4 speed waiting to be restored. It has a little rust on the sills but not a bad car. Always love seeing /8 coupes get some love.

There are many legitimate criticisms of the Metro but handling isn't one of them; how old were the tyres? My brother had a MG Metro in the early 90s and it stuck to the road like st to a blanket.
I really can't get me head around all the love for the Metro, has the passing of time dulled people's senses? It was an underdeveloped piece of st. My first company car back in 1984 was a basic Metro City which had zero redeeming features and my wife's MG Metro promised much and delivered very little.I suppose in the end everything becomes a classic!
In the middle of fiddling with my B, carbs are currently in pieces on the bench but it should be running again soon (out of use since 1989 I think), Federal-spec test car.

Are there any ex-MG people in these parts, who might remember the old girl in the late 1970s?

That should be worth something extra over a standard one. Interesting, expecially the steering wheel ( looks like a Montego or something!).
Has the look of a Rover SD1 one to me.RJ

1. Keep the wheel - it's part of the cars history
2. Ditch the wheel and fit a Mota Lita
