DESCRIPTION

1 Registered keeper and just 741 miles from new...

An original 1983 Vanden Plas Austin Metro, only 500 made, this car being No.2 in the series (stamped in the window). This Austin Metro is showing just 1 registered keeper on the Registration Document.

Believed to be 1 only 5 Austin Metro VP 500's left in the UK, either SORN or registered (Q1 of 2015).

Presented in Black with contrasting original tan leather seats, this manual 1.3L Austin Metro vp500 previously formed part of the 'Patrick collection' in Birmingham.

Offered for sale with a fresh MoT certificate valid till June, 2016.

With very few Vanden Plas Austin Metro's thought to be remaining on the road, this car maybe one to potentially bubble-wrap for the future...
