AI Listing Summary

This 1998 Rover 114 GTA, with only 30,202 miles, was recently unearthed after the passing of its original owner and a short period of dry storage.

Condition

6

The car is described as being in 'as found' condition after a period of storage. While it started readily, it is noted that it will require a thorough check and potentially some recommissioning before being suitable for road use. The presence of almost every MOT certificate since 2001 suggests it has been generally well-maintained, but the need for recommissioning indicates it is not in pristine or near-perfect condition.

The Metro was launched as the Austin Mini Metro in 1980 and was intended as the replacement for the long-running and successful Mini.

During its 18-year lifespan, the Metro bore many names including the Rover Metro which arrived in 1990, as a heavily revised version with several option engine options available.

The GTa's engine was a naturally aspirated 1.3 litre four-cylinder petrol developing 73bhp.

The Rover Metro GTa was said to be able to dispense the 0-60mph sprint in 11.8 seconds and the standing quarter-mile in 18.6 seconds with a quoted top speed is 103mph.

Manufactured in 1998, this Metro GTA was first registered in the United Kingdom (on the 5 th of March that year), having been supplied new via Tannery Farm Garage Rover in St.

Helens.

Pleasingly retaining the original dealer sticker in the rear window and dealer number plates, the GTa is fitted with the 1396cc straight-four A-Series engine with the five-speed manual transmission.
