Yeah yeah its a metro, BUT this metro was owned by a priest, its been blessed by almighty himself but that didnt stop the common fault of the head gasket going.

So today people, praise the lord, because i can offer you this car with...

nice 1.4 engine
6 gears
stereo
all original
a new head gasket,skimmed,new bolts etc all fitted
very long mot
very long tax
61 ah say 61,000 miles
full service history
mint condition
for $595

Picture was taken by moi when car broke down for insurance purposes, proper pics will be up soon as its been cleaned. this car has never been thrashed, add ons available at buyers cost, fully insured test drive welcome to interested customers, i do not sell sh**e, this car has no problems at all, interiour is like the day it came out the factory, you may notice one of the wings look a different shade to rest of car, this is due to me polishing it to see how clean it would come up.
P\x welcome

It sounds like the HGF isnt bad if its still fine to drive without overheating - you considered K-Sealing it and lumping it onto eBay?

I know loads of drivers on the MGR forums swear by K-Seal and one guy has been running on it for 20,000miles plus with no problems.

If the HGF is only minor, its fine to K-Seal it without needing further work.
