Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
ok iam going to ask this.... sounds like a daft question, how quick is a metro vvc like this... scooby eater?? tubby eater??
the only reason iam asking this is iam looking at a saxo vts (waits for the boo's) which i fancy trying to get a xsara vts engine into - but before i go down this route, i want to stay on the mg/rover ship

Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
If you check out Youtube, there is a clip of one of Reylands Metro's thats similar spec to this 'entertaining' a few Cosworths round a track/infield airstrip.
Not saying this is as fast as that, but it's not a kick in the pants off it either. Mine is also a Reyland conversion.
For reference it will asassinate a VTS

Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
as mint as the metro is, £2600 is a bit much when the car without the VVC lump is worth no more than a grand 

Of all the things i've lost in my life, i miss my mind the most. Ozzy

Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
Not sure where your getting your figures from about Metro GTi values, but you wont see any change from at least £1500 for a good basic GTi, never mind a Lux Pack which is very rare, especially with the Half Leathers. Think someone needs to do their homework.
Last VVC 160 I saw go went for £3500, but had an LSD too.

Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
no offence mate i too am a metty lover, but a standard gti will not fetch £1500. they're fetching £800 tops from what i've seen and thats for a minter.
i think its you with your figures that needs to do their homkework. my pal just paid £1400 for a metty gti with a brand new 1.8 lump and not a spot of rust anywhere and he'll be first to tell ya he paid over the odds for it.
not having a dig at your thread mate but i think you'll do well if you get £2600 for it.

Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
Your definition of mint is obviously substandard to mine.
This I would say was in comparable condition to mine, but unfortunately is an SPi, and has more miles.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/METRO-GTI-16V-LAD ... .m14.l1318
£800 for a mint one ? Dont make me laugh.

Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
Even though that was an spi it was well worth the money for such a lovely example, hold out for a while and i'm sure you'll get what the car is really worth. For too long people have under-valued the cars and think they can get a minter for £500, good luck to them!

Re: Metro GTi VVC 160 - Lux Pack
for the last 2 years, a mint metro gti was £600 and all were down south. this year however, the prices have rocketed! i genuinely can`t believe how much money they are commanding. the exact same has happened with 205 gti`s. i personally blame the scrap prices. it has left the classics scarse on the ground just now.
it is a stonker this car, goodluck with the sale.
