1982 AUSTIN METRO VANDEN PLAS 28,000 MILES

This is an early example of the luxury version of Austin's Metro as the Vanden Plas variant was only unveiled in May 1982, and this one was registered in August 1982. The Metallic Cashmere Gold car with Brushwood interior has been dry stored off-road since 2008 but has just been given a fresh MoT which is valid through to January 2024. The odometer shows just 28,381 miles. Owned by the original lady owner from new in 1982 before passing to her husband in 2022. The car remains original and presents well for its age. Due to the amount of time the car was stored off road, it would benefit from some recommissioning before use.

The history file includes the V5C and the original bill of sale from 1982 (when its total cost, with metallic paint and automatic transmission was £5400). There are a few bills from 2000 to 2005 plus the original book pack with owner's handbook and supplement, radio instructions and service book stamped up to 19,556 miles in July 1994.
