Cathy got in touch after seeing our Metro 40th feature on the BBC. She has quite a collection of Metros; a 1983 MG Metro in Zircon Blue, a 1995 Flame red 114 GTa and finally a 1998 Hawaiian Blue 114 GSi... as well as a 1983 black MG Metro and 1983 Oporto Red Vanden Plas in storage! Here she tells us about her Metros in her own words...

Chris’s Rover 100 Turbo - in his own words...
Tom's first Metro was a Mk1 Austin Metro 998cc, which he still owns and has been his daily driver for the past 6 years. Wanting something with a bit more power he purchased a 1993 Mk3 Metro when it came up for sale locally; first converting to 1.8 VVC and then into a van project...
With 261hp, Sean Waite's turbo Rover Metro is the one of the finest examples of a Rover Metro in the scene. With 261hp it doesn't hang around either! Read the story if this stunning car within.
'How many friends would I lose?' is the question Craig asked just before the V5 for a purple Rover 114 Cabriolet was signed over to him, although it seems he does not regret the decision. Read the story of this rare car within.
Now here's something a little bit different! A Rover 100 powered by an Audi 20v, and it's turbocharged to boot!

With a quarter mile time of under 14 seconds, Tom's Rover 100 Kensington SE is no slow poke! Here he tells the story of his Metro in his own words.
Wayne's Rover 114 GTA is a real head turner and a favourite here at Metropower. With it's awesome track stance, 160 VVC engine under the bonnet and an endless spec list, this one is a giant killer! Here Wayne tells the story of how the car came to be, in his own words.
Josh Briody writes about the story of his 1995 Rover 114 GSi automatic, Olivia.
Whilst Jason's Metropower journey only began recently, he has been into British cars and Metros for much longer. Here's the story of his awesome black MK1 MG Metro from 1983, which at some point made its way to the opposite end of the world, in Australia! With three Metros including a MK3 Rover VVC in the workshop, Jason is clearly a Metro nut!
