Tempted by the Metro’s swansong? Here are two virtually unused examples for sale at the same dealership

Knightsbridge Or Kensington?

If our retrospective has whetted your appetite, then for £4,995 you can take your pick from two virtually unused examples currently for sale at Thurlby Motors in Lincolnshire (www.thurlbymotors.com).

The former Vauxhall main agent has diversified recently into selling modern classics, with a showroom of over 50 cars from the 1980s to the early 2000s, ranging from the exotic to, well, these two - a pair of Rover 100s from 1995.

Both of these cars are incredible low mileage examples, procured from elderly owners who barely used them in the 22 years in which they owned them.
