The Austin Metro, launched in 1980, was a compact hatchback designed and manufactured by British Leyland (BL) as a replacement for the aging Austin Mini. The 1983 model year saw the introduction of the "Metro" nameplate, replacing the initial "Austin Metro" moniker. This change signified a shift in marketing strategy, emphasizing the car's individual identity rather than its connection to the Austin brand. The Metro was a significant departure from its predecessor, boasting a front-wheel drive layout, a more spacious interior, and a wider range of engines, including the innovative 1.0-liter A-series engine. These features provided a more modern driving experience, with a more comfortable ride and improved handling. The Metro was available in a variety of trim levels, ranging from the basic base model to the more luxurious Vanden Plas. It also spawned several performance variants, such as the sporty Metro Turbo and the rally-bred Metro GTi. The Austin Metro, particularly the 1983 model year, was a pivotal moment in BL's history, signifying a move towards more modern and competitive vehicles. Though not without its share of critics, the Metro achieved commercial success, becoming a popular choice for budget-conscious buyers in the UK and several other international markets. This success was due in no small part to the Metro's reliability, fuel efficiency, and practicality. The 1983 workshop repair service manual would have been a vital resource for mechanics and owners, providing detailed technical information and guidance on the vehicle's various systems, from engine maintenance to bodywork repair. This manual essentially served as a comprehensive guide for keeping the Metro on the road and ensuring its continued operation.
