Starts, runs, shifts and stops great. Rare and desirable options were diligently sought out and expertly installed, with tamper proof screws/bolts where necessary.This last generation, Series IV of Mets also features the following factory improvements and upgrades: Wrap Around Rear Window, Locking Trunk Lid, Windwings, and Locking Glove Box Door.The Austin 1500 In-Line 4 Cylinder engine that is paired with a "3 on the Tree" manual transmission runs great and gets great gas mileage too.
