RE: Shed Of The Week: Rover Metro Chairman
Discussion
If shed were a bag of Revels, we just got the coffee one, and before anyone says "I Like the coffee ones best", let me say just you are deviants, and not to be trusted.
Still, clue is in the name, it is/was for the disabled and sometimes necessity dictates that a low slung sportscar is out of the question, thankfully there are many more stylish options around nowadays.

If ever there was a car that someone should buy to do the Mongol Rally in, this is it! Soneone please, please make it happen...
Problem with the MR now is that you have to bring the car back with you. Was a lot easier when you'd auction off your tiny engined hatchback with buggered suspension and an engine that had a mix of sand, dust and water through the air filter. Now imagine buying this, doing another 20k miles in it across the desert, and then trying to get rid of it. (Thats if it makes it back to blighty...)
ETA.. What about when it breaks down in Iran? Doubt they have Rover parts!
Haters gonna hate.
Automatic whoosh parrot for the downvoters. We need a laugh like this once in a while. Oddities like this are all part of the rich tapestry of motoring.
PS. Had an MG Metro once as s stop-gap when a former GF wrote off my XR2. Endearing, but cack. It was green, and I nicknamed it Freddo. It had mounting points for shock absorbers which, for some bizarre reason, AR had deleted in later production, and the thing hopped like a demented frog (another reason for the nickname). This will have the front-rear connected Hydragas so should be a bit more stable, but I can still imagine the ride for the poor wheelchair-bound person loaded on to this would be hair-raising.

What a sentence, bloody brilliant.
Agreed!!What a sentence, bloody brilliant.
Personally I don't think it's as bad as many are making out ... ok so it's not a daily but as has been stated, tear the roof off and it's a certainly quirky open top or leave as is and would be great for tip runs! Granted the price is optimistic though
best thing to do with it would be paint it team colours and use it as transport for your motorbike. A really bad team support vehicle if you wish. And then put wheels on the ramp and load and unload the bike whilst on the move. Go to IOM TT in it.
Or, black out the rear windows and use it for crime. Rob jewelers, escape on motorbike, rendezvous with the chairman, drive in the back like the minis in The Italian Job. The perfect crime. Nothing to see here officer. Just my wheelchair bound nan in the back, sleeping.
lets face it, nobody is gonna be buying this for genuine transport needs are they?

I want to paint it white, hire Jim Bowen to sit in the back and run a scam selling blessings to gullible Catholics
Now THAT is an idea!!I reckon a Big Block chevy in the back and RWD would be better.
Whatever, brilliant shed. Hey, how about a wooden slat paint job so actually looks like a shed?
Well done for winding up all the keyboard warriors this week. (It being half term and all)
