Description
The Austin Mini-Metro: A Critical Car for British Leyland Launched in 1980 as the Austin Mini-Metro, this car played a pivotal role in saving British Leyland. This book delves into its design, development, and sales success from conception to production's end in 1998. From initial sketches in 1975 to the final product, the author explores the Metro's evolution, including key people involved in its creation. The book also covers the car's launch, reception by media and public, and subsequent facelifts, rebranding, and new engine developments. Additionally, it touches on the Metro's racing successes and a proposed replacement design that never made it to production. For both current and prospective owners, this book provides valuable information, including advice on what to look out for when buying or maintaining a Metro.
