In 1977, the arrival of Michael Edwardes at the head of British Leyland accelerated the development of a modern subcompact, destined to replace the Mini. The ADO88 / LC8 project led to the presentation in October 1980 at the presentation of the Mini Metro. Until 1990 the car was offered in a huge number of versions, without however replacing the traditional Mini. Among the most sought after by collectors today are the Vanden Plas (May 1982) and the sports MG Metro (1982-1986), MG Metro Turbo (1983-1988) and MG Sport (1988-1989). The Metro was replaced by the Rover 100 which was an update with new engines.
