This Austin Metro Vanden Plas, finished in Opaline green with Sandpiper cloth interior, was exhibited on the Metro stand at the 2023 NEC Classic Car Show.
This is a rare example, and is believed to be one of only a handful left that were specified in Opaline green.
A solid example that has evidently been well cherished throughout its lifetime.
Covering a mere 27,000 miles from new, shared over 5 keepers, and believed to have also been dry stored.
It has been kept well and has held up nicely over the years.
A desirable 3-door model in rare Opaline green with Sandpiper cloth interior.
Largely in original specification, the interior shows minimal signs of wear, with no noticeable rips or tears in the upholstery.
The bodywork appears to show no obvious sign of serious corrosion, with only a few micro blisters here and there.
It appears that it has had a pair of front wings at some point in the past, as they are ever so slightly off colour.
Supplied with a V5c registration document...
