The Austin Metro was introduced in October 1980 with the Red Hot special edition becoming availble in September 1988.
As is the case with many other models of Metro, it was powered by the 'A' series 1275cc 60bhp engine and buyers could option either a 4-speed all-synchromesh manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission.
With independant front and rear suspension and ventilated front brake discs it was clear that the Red Hot was a great stepping stone for those who wanted MG looks for a fraction of the price.
Around 2,000,000 Austin Metro's were made between 1980 and 1998.
Displaying a credible c.36,000 miles, this Red Hot example is powered by the 1275cc unit and is understood to be one of only nine survivors left in the UK.
The vendor describes the condition as very good and has enjoyed driving this little Austin these past few years with it's automatic gearbox making it feel 'like a go kart'.
