The Austin Metro, a compact hatchback produced by British Leyland from 1980 to 1990, was a significant departure from its predecessors. Designed by the famed Italian design house, Pininfarina, the Metro boasted a modern, aerodynamic shape that set it apart from the boxy cars of its era. It was also remarkably lightweight, utilizing a monocoque construction and a predominantly aluminum engine, which contributed to its fuel efficiency. The Metro was offered in a variety of trim levels, including the base L, the more luxurious HL, and the sporty "Metro" and "Metro Turbo" models. The Metro played a crucial role in revitalizing Austin's image and was known for being a practical, affordable, and relatively reliable car. The 1985 Austin Metro, covered by the Workshop Repair Service Manual, received significant updates compared to its earlier versions. These included revisions to the engine, suspension, and interior. The 1985 model year also saw the introduction of fuel-injected engines, which improved performance and fuel economy. Notably, the Metro also introduced the "Montego" moniker for its larger sibling, a move that further cemented the Metro's identity as a distinct and smaller model. These changes contributed to the Metro's continued success, solidifying its position as a popular and affordable family car. The Workshop Repair Service Manual provides detailed information on all aspects of the 1985 Austin Metro, from engine and transmission repairs to bodywork and electrical systems, making it an indispensable resource for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike.
