Description Only 21,725 miles from new with 15 service stamps; three owners, the first two on the Isle of Wight; funky Amaranth paintwork and luxury Knightsbridge trim; a proper little time capsule! The 1990 Rover Metro was announced to the world with one eye-catching word: 'Metromorphosis'.

It might have looked like the original 1980 Metro, but thanks to all-new K-Series engines under the bonnet and modifications to the Hydragas suspension which gave excellent handling, the new Metro emerged as a class-leading supermini, winning What Car’s ‘Car of The Year’ accolade in 1991.

To drive, it really was a whole new ball game, with sweet-spinning engines, magic carpet ride quality and Rover 200 seats up front with a re-angled steering column for a big-car driving position.

In January 1995 the Metro was given its final facelift as the Rover 100, remaining in production until European crash safety legislation finally killed it off for good in December 1997.
