ENGINE & TRANSMISSION Lifting the bonnet reveals Rover’s robust 1120cc K-Series engine, a power unit that perfectly captures the charm of 1990s British motoring. With multi-point fuel injection and electronic ignition, it produces a lively 60bhp at 5,500rpm and 88Nm of torque at 3,500rpm figures that, when paired with the Metro’s light weight, deliver a surprisingly spirited and eager drive. Turn the key and the engine fires instantly, settling to a smooth, even idle, just as it would have when new. Throttle response is crisp and immediate, with the familiar K-Series note that brings a smile to any enthusiast’s face. On the move, power delivery is willing, offering the perfect balance between classic charm and usable performance. This example benefits from the manual 5-speed gearbox, a welcome advancement over earlier units, offering quieter cruising and more flexibility at modern road speeds. The gear selection is light and precise, each ratio engaging cleanly with a satisfying mechanical feel. Drive take-up is smooth and progressive through all gears, reflecting both the car’s low mileage and the care it has enjoyed throughout its life. Clutch operation is equally precise, with no judder or unwanted noise, and the gearbox feels notably tight and fresh exactly as you’d expect from a car showing just 3,262 miles from new. Under power, the car feels composed and eager, the drivetrain free of play or hesitation. Every indication points to a drivetrain that has been perfectly preserved mechanically original, unmodified, and running exactly as Rover intended. A charming, nostalgic, and genuinely enjoyable drive, this Metro delivers that light, responsive feel that defined the best of small British cars of the era a true pleasure behind the wheel. WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES This superb example sits proudly on its original 13-inch pressed steel wheels, each still adorned with the factory-fitted Rover Silver wheel trims all present and in exceptional, scuff-free condition. The trims retain their bright metallic sheen with no cracking or discolouration, sitting perfectly aligned on steel rims that remain true and undamaged, exactly as they left Longbridge in 1995. Fitted with a matching set of 155/65 R13 tyres, each tyre displays ample tread depth and uniform wear across all four corners, delivering a supple, confident ride and quiet road manners. Sidewalls remain free from cracks or flat spots, providing clear evidence of careful storage and minimal use throughout the car’s life. Braking performance is provided by a servo-assisted dual-circuit hydraulic system, ensuring reassuring and progressive stopping power. The front ventilated disc brakes deliver strong, fade-free braking performance, while the rear leading and trailing shoe drum setup complements them perfectly, offering excellent balance and smooth operation. Pedal travel is firm and responsive, with the servo assistance providing an easy, precise feel underfoot just as Rover intended. The front suspension features independent Hydragas displacer units with built-in damping, a system that links both sides hydraulically to provide remarkable ride comfort for such a compact car. This design allows the car to maintain a level attitude under braking and acceleration, minimising pitch and body roll. At the rear, trailing arms combined with interconnected Hydragas units continue this engineering excellence, offering a fluid, compliant ride without compromising stability or control. The result is a car that feels beautifully composed on the road softly sprung yet remarkably sure-footed, with the light steering and balanced chassis geometry that made the Metro such a delight to drive when new.
