The Austin Metro, a compact car produced by the British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC) from 1980 to 1990, was a pivotal model for the struggling company, marking a significant shift in their design philosophy and aiming to compete with the growing popularity of small, fuel-efficient cars. The Metro was a radical departure from previous BLMC offerings, emphasizing front-wheel drive, a smaller and more aerodynamic body, and a focus on economy and affordability. The 1986 model year continued this trend, featuring a range of four-cylinder engines with varying power outputs and a revised interior layout, adding to the car's practicality and appeal.

Despite the car's relatively humble beginnings, the Austin Metro, particularly the 1986 model, earned a reputation for its reliability and ease of maintenance. The car's simple design, with its front-wheel drive layout and transverse engine arrangement, made it a relatively straightforward vehicle to service and repair. This accessibility is also highlighted by the availability of an extensive service and repair workshop manual specifically tailored for the 1986 model year. This manual, a key resource for owners, mechanics, and enthusiasts, provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the car, from routine maintenance procedures such as oil changes and brake inspections to more complex repairs involving engine overhauls and bodywork restoration.
