Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This MG Metro, first registered in 1988, spent much of its life in Malta before being re-registered in the UK in 2016. It presents well, retaining its original RHD and UK specification, with two former UK keepers. While the interior shows some age-related wear, the car benefits from recent mechanical work and comes with a collection of paperwork.

The car is in 'Good' condition, with the interior showing some wear typical of 1980s cars, such as sagging trim. The exterior has likely been well-preserved due to its time in Malta, a forgiving climate for cars. The car has had some mechanical work done, including cylinder head work and new suspension units, indicating it has been maintained but not perfectly preserved.
