    Austin Mini Metro....Pow

    Whatever the reason, a sixties Mini is often for sale....yet the Metro today is the harder to find of the two. Many were made, yet none appear to be advertised anywhere.

    Great cargo room, in a slightly bigger setup than the Mini, or 'smart'. Very basic -- if the sheer number of build flaws could be addressed.

    Noise and buzz.. Top gear rates > a zero on a scale of 1 - 10

    Shoulda bought one (or maybe a Ford RS200) back when they could be had for fairly reasonable $$.
