1993 ROVER METRO NIGHTFIRE
UK • 22 Aug 2026 • Lot 299
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare, single-keeper Rover Metro Nightfire special edition with 71,308 miles. It runs and drives and has been off the road since Sept 2023, meaning some recommissioning is likely required. The car comes with its original bill of sale, handbook, and V5C, but the maintenance history is lost.
Condition
6
The car has been unused and SORN since September 2023, indicating potential recommissioning needs. While the vendor states it runs and drives with a new battery, the loss of maintenance history and the general condition of a car unused for an extended period suggest it falls into the 'Good' category, requiring some reconditioning.

Description
1120cc, manual.
This rare Rover Metro has been registered to the same keeper for its entire life.
Being a Nightfire special edition model, it's finished in Nightfire Pearlescent with Dark Granite trim, and its interior features the original stereo and heated rear window.
The car has been unused and on SORN since September 2023 so some recommissioning may be required, but the vendor tells us that it runs and drives, and has received a new battery.
The Metro still wears its original dealer plates and dealer sticker in the back window, although the maintenance history has sadly been lost.
The car is sold together with its original bill of sale, V5C showing 0 former keepers, and its handbook pack.
The odometer shows 71,308 miles.
