The last one i seen was on a 52 plate with a toyota engine in it. P.S you might still need a pair of ear mufflers and remember not to expose it to direct sunlight

Parts were a nightmare. Manufacturers went bust, started up again, went bust again. 4 years of torture. Never again! Not to mention the noise. Hearing only now recovering

There are about a dozen 55 plated Metro's running about in London, these were a result of Metrocabs brief resurection the other year. |
