'Long story short'

Late last year I looked up the registration of my Old Metro G131 OAM on the DVLA website only to discover it had been re-registered as 'white' (Originally flame red) and being Sorn, which made me curious about its history since my ownership. I had assumed it had been crushed after hearing the engine was removed to be used in a Mini. I left a post on the facebook group 'Mg Metro TURBO owners' the other day about G131 OAM only to look up at the top of the page to see a picture of the car's registration on a white '6R4'. Unsure I was reading the plate right (being a small - 100x100 photo) I took a closer look just to be certain and here she is as she is now(although I am told no longer in white)...





It has actually been converted to RWD and is powered by a Rx-8 Rotary engine producing 240hp More details Here
(old thread)

Mixed emotions about how she is now, although nice to know someone is taking pride in the old girl never thought in a million years, it would become such a big project certainly not an Rx-8 powered RWD.

Bit of a shock TBH, certainly when I found out about the Rx-8 engine

Nice she is living on though

I was secretly hoping it was converted to a 6R4 or at very least AWD or V6... RWD is something I suppose but 'OAM' is certainly unique

Edit: I also should add it is being upgraded to nearly 400BHP!

He says he has no time to fix/repair so i've offered to buy them back, he bought a 1275 gt clubman and a metro turbo my plan was to drop the turbo'd lump in the mini and go from there

Wow that Metro is amazing! One hell of an engine for it too, that sounds animalistic
