There’s 3 cars sitting on a drive in Suffolk on a council estate, think someone should contact the owner and see what they wish to do, if they wanna sell, they’ve been there my entire life 30yrs.

Gone have the 1/2 naked women, presenter with a 6 pack and fake recovery of a £100000 car. Just a rough arse old school mechanic, rescuing a rough arse old school motor… your my new hero, keep up the good work 👍🏻

I learnt to drive in one to these, blast from the past👍

I’ve still got an 87 City X that’s been standing a few years and with a new battery and a bit of choke, it fired straight up. All BL AR cars were underrated, the fact that this little A series started after 26 years speaks volumes 😍😍. Great work!

Me dad had one of them in 1994, it had a dint in the front left wing, so I went the scrapyard to get a replacement. When I got home I put the new one on, but it just wouldn’t fit, so I kicked it to get it to fit, and low behold I bloody dinted it 😂😂😂😂

So glad to see people save these classics not enough of them on the road these days

My first car was a gold metro. Wee rust bucket but mechanically great. Good memories brought back watching this little car come back to life .

It’ll look nice that with a clean and some new 🛞s

The unmistakable sound of the gearbox in 1st just reminds me of the light blue metro my nanna had when I was a young child 😊 so nice to hear it again, hopefully I'll be in a position to buy one soon, thanks for the video

It's great to see an actual barn-find rather than the ones that so often claim to be these days.Amazing (and tempting as well.) Very satisfying to see the transformation after you washed it!

Nightfisher blue was the best colour. With a bit of work she’d be a beauty

Hi. I’m a huge fan of Hoovies, Hubnut and Harry’s Garage. I have to say after viewing your video your content is just AWESOME. The music makes it a happy occasion as well, reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland. I take my hat of to you sir. Keep up the great work….

Looking good underneath, even the stickers are still intact on the exhaust.

Really impressed how you’ve rescued this old girl.

she still running strong

what a mint car !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Id love a drive in that 🙂

Sixpenny Handley’s answer to Vice Grip Garage - love it! More “will it run” videos please 🙏

My first car was a Metro, back in '92... As a younger chap at the time, I converted her (basic 1 litre spec) to full MG interior and MG turbo bodykit and alloys... Loved that wee car, and so easy to work on...

I had 4 metros along with other cars at varying times. 3 were mgs 1 a 1.0l. I can honestly say, I have never had a car that was more fun to drive. More like a toy really. Passed my test in my own MG great memories of a fun to drive car.

big up the Metro ! - a great little car 🙂

Fantastic video so nice to see a metro on the road again I'm just watching it on ebay I can't believe what it's upto now 😀

My neighbour had a white one in the very early 90s - I’d wash it as a kid every Sunday for a quid!

Your views are up massively due to this metro 😂👍🏼

Extremely Entertaining 👍😊

Satisfaction at its finest. Great video! I envy any man who comes across a genuine barn find these days. No matter what the car, it's brilliant to see them restored and back on the road.

The fact the rear light bulbs are still working is astonishing.

What a wonderful job you did to bring this little car from such a long coma. Well done mate.

This Metro cleaned up really well, it certainly has potential for restoration 😊.

Good old string in windscreen, the uk streets were full of these cars back in the day

Great work hiding the reg on the recovery truck......😂

Love it!. Dear old Mum had one of those, same colour. Had my first 'unofficial' driving lesson in it. 🤣

I love a Metro. Had two in my time. A white 1.1 and a black MG Metro. Great little cars.

Underneath the car looks remarkably good with a little bit of time and effort this is going to be a fantastic little survivor metro so pleased to see cars like this being brought back to life

The test drive brought back the soundtrack of 3-4 years of my much younger life when I had 3 company car Metros. I'm sure this rescued Metro could be lovely with some TLC.

It's incredible how this is able to drive after so long.

Great video. Great to see it saved.

I love Metros. I've had 5 of the buggers and I'd love to have this one!

20 years ago, couldn't have given a toss about stuff like Metros, but now there is so few of them, its nice to see it saved.

That wee car wants to go off to the supermarket.

Its a cute little car wow absolutely amazing it runs and drives after all those years you ate amazing 👍

I find this videos so therapeutic 👍🙌

This looks amazing, I have briefly driven a 1988 1 litre city, slightly bouncy ride but was a fun little car. Sweet runner and so lovely to see. Hope she goes to a good home and gets restored.

Great job, the Metro looks in pretty decent fettle all told. Hope it finds a new owner

It is always therapeutic washing a car. Loving this video series. I Worked at Kennings - Austin Rover, MG, Jaguar, Triumph etc - from 1983 to 1990. Happy days. If memory serves correct that particular year suffers 3rd motion shaft bearing failure. I know a quick way to replace them.

The sound from that sweet little A+ has made my mind up, Metro it is. The search commences...

Nice little restoration project, the underside looks very clean. The semi sheltered storage location has really helped its survival!

I love metro's they look like a match box that's been attacked with a kitchen knife

We had a metro in 1983, in my view it was a much under appreciated car.

I see it sold! Fantastic, well done. 👍

Back in the old days you’d often see a metro abandoned with its arse on the deck where someone dumped it because its dragging its bum like a dog trying to walk and poo at the same time

Nice one, very fond as these as my first car was a Metro. Very satisfying seeing all the crud fly off! Am watching the auction! 🙂

Yes u did a wash video! Takes me back to the 90s seeing the metro!

I got the wife a silver one in 1996 was a wee auto great little car never gave us a days trouble hopefully someone put it back together

What a great find. I can't believe it drove out of its resting place just like that

Brilliant video, well saved, i had a little 1l metro then got a metro gt loved it.

We had one in that gorgeous night fire red, went from wife’s to daughter’s as you do! Ran like a dream but wheel arches rusted into oblivion! Happy days!…..

It looks fantastic.

According to DVLA. That Metro has never even had a MOT. I hope someone restores it.

Best videos I've seen in a while. Learnt to drive in a metro and had an mg metro and turbo metro. Great cars for the time even though I was always a mini man.

Geez, that runs really sweet - high potential, there.

I had an MG Turdbo in that colour had red seatbelts and the same browny dash!! Was good for flying around the lanes of Dorset

Love it. Favourite car you have done!

Another thoroughly enjoying video 👍👍

Remember the engine whine of the metro.

Owned a turbo in these…. What a blast…… and bought a 1300 sport for wife to learn to drive in Fun motors, no airs or graces😎💪🏼….. only 5000 on yours😳….. tough little engines👏 Great find.

looks so much better after a bath 🛁🧼🫧

I had my second MG Metro for 6 yrs, alongside my XR2 till a dozy woman driver who was clueless as to how a roundabout works drove straight into the side of me. About 4 yrs into the metro experiance, a friend pointed out that the steering wheel was out of line with the seat on metros. Did not notice before but the steering wheel is slightly to the left of the seat. Not in line lol. This bugged me for ages.

Everybody loves a barnfind it’s nice wee project for someone 👍 👍 you need to find another now. Brilliant content 👍

Well done and I hope it goes for a good amount for you and your friend. Look forward to seeing the Viva :-)

Amazing mate

Yay, this made my new year's day.

i had one of these in 1984...whilst everyone around got stuck in the snow these would just get you anywhere you wanted.....them engines went for ever.....but the bodies just couldnt keep up

I am amazed! I have been toying with the idea of an old car to fix up, take to shows etc. My budget is quite tight but trying to put a bit away to top the fund up, I really wanted an MG Montego but the price of them is batty and hard to find a good one. I have decided it is going to be a Metro, always wanted one but never owned one. So I searched Metro and here I am. I am blown away by how good the car looks at 22:14, I think with a new headlight and set of tyres, a good service etc this could be a usable project! I can't see it needing a lot for an MOT

Had a couple of these back in the day. They were cracking reliable little cars.

Another brilliant video 👍👍

Love the vlogs and the honesty of them …happy new year

Cracking stuff. Nice recovery. One Metro that wanted to live! 👍 Interesting basic Bedford CF at the other yard too!

Wow fairplay that metro engine sounded and drove very well considering it's been static most of its life cool channel mate thanks for your time uploading 👌😉

Another gem

well done on the auction going above a grand at the time of writing this. I saw a nice condition rover metro, 20,000 miles on the clock being sold on auto trader for £1000 and I was sorely tempted to buy it.

Brilliant!

Love it 😁👌

Voice is hilarious 😂

Great stuff. 🙏. Tidied up that would make a great runabout for someone. 👍

Fantastic, amazing really it is!!! This little car obviously is very happy it's been giving a really secound life. Hopefully there's to be found a enthousiast who service it for a new MOT. just to make her shiny again afterwards.

How beautiful. One day I hope to own a rover 200 series - here’s hoping!

Been waiting for this upload the short was a teas 👍hopefully it's moved in this as well

Great effort mate

It’s developed a lovely patina over the years.

fun video very good

man it's been awhile since i have seen an old metro. I remember when they used to everywhere,

another great vid mate. Glad to see your channel growing, keep it up

So happy to see it drive, I laughed so much I have jaw ache. Brilliant! Loved the jet washing of the inside of the car, fantastic. Car looks fantastic and in good shape for its age and storage wear and tear etc. In the old days, I’d do a quick cowboy job on it, rebuild it with P38, quick rattle can job from Halfords and whack it in the exchange and mart 😂 1 careful lady driver……🤣😂🤣

My first car on the road was an 87 1litre city. Bloody gutless but hilarious

LOL first car i had when i passed my test in 2007 was a 1.1 litre Metro cost £300 with a manual choke ,it was hilarious fun would do 100mph too and really good on petrol , sadly one day i broke down on a dual carriage way and the Police came towed it away to their Manston recovery yard then wanted £350 to release it lol so i told them keep it , the thing i don't like is even though i pulled it safely off the carriageway onto a grass verge the police still had it towed saying it would be dangerous to leave it there ? Police pension fund in short supply more like it lol

Learned to drive and took my test in one of these.

So few left, that definitely needs restoring and preserving.

That whining gearbox takes me back, lol.

I had a 1983 ex post office van and it was great!

I know an owner of basically the same car, I could have it for a few hundred quid it’s been sat in a garage for 15+years but From the garage window I can see quite a bit of rust on the front bumper. I think it could be saved but would most probably need a lot of work just dunno if I have the love for it.
