It’s 1975 and the newly created British Leyland Motor Corporation faces an enormous challenge. Petrol prices are skyrocketing, and customers are rushing to buy fuel economical small hatchbacks like the Fiat 127 and Renault 5. British Leyland’s own Mini which created this category way back in 1959, is showing its age. It’s too small and is much less practical. Britain had just entered the Common Market, a forerunner to the European Union, and what British Leyland needs is a class-leading “supermini” of its own to take on the rest of Europe. What it doesn’t have is the money to develop it.
The Austin Metro was also known as the Austin Mini Metro, MG Metro, Rover Metro, and Rover 100.
