A great little car in SURF BLUE color.

The attention she gets is incomparable.

New head lights and bulbs / great night time vision.

Chromes like if it just came out from factory. Photos speak for themselves.

Overall condition very good.

No money or effort spared for this little beauty.

(Please NOTE there are mods that you can see in photos. Please DO NOT ask me if she has her original engine or whatever similar. The car was bought this way and have made some slight changes and maintenance. The car is great and flies like a train.

V I D E O :

(03:45 the drag race video).

The 1275 model is considered the best one, even comparing to newer models as per comparison in the video. One of the reasons is the emissions requirements and catalytic technology. Due to carburetor engine, the 1275 model from the early nineties is the fastest.

"Whilst most of the engines do not really give a whole lot of difference in performance, the one outstanding version is the MG Metro engine. Where the majority of the variously similar power plants put out around 63-65bhp, the MG metro achieves a more spirited 70-74bhp. This is due to a higher compression ratio (10 -1), larger inlet valve (35.7mm instead of 33.3mm), and - mainly - a more sporty camshaft with half-decent induction and exhaust systems. The inlet manifold being a reasonably good flowing, water heated aluminium example. Rover finally got the hint having witnessed the prolific after-market fitment or such an item to Minis in epic proportions for years. The exhaust manifold is a cast iron 'LCB' style with a pair of exhaust downpipes instead of the more common single item and works very efficiently. A bonus of this over the more common after-market steel-tubed LCBs is that it is much quieter by dint of absorbing more exhaust 'noise'. Coupled to a pair of Maniflow tubular steel downpipes it is very nearly as efficient as a full tubular steel manifold. The cylinder head is more along the lines of the old Cooper S spec and in fact flows slightly more air than it's predecessor, the camshaft being the sportiest fitted to any production A-series engine. It uses the inlet profile and timing of the original 997 Cooper cam and the exhaust specification of the old Leyland Special Tuning '731' fast road cam."

One has to go...and someone else to enjoy her, look after her and love her the same way I spent so much money for.

A beauty...
