Z2  | Badge on front fender indicates 1991 "GL 30th Anniversary" | 2021-01-13 12:46 | ||

| marioman3138 | Pretty sure thats a 1978+ (series 1) | 2020-09-07 02:01 | ||
| Z2 | No front fogs = 318is. This is filmed in Australia, only 318is or 325i coupe were sold here (at the time this was filmed), the latter came with standard fog lights. The red one in the mike's thumbnail is obviously a 325i. -- Last edit: 2020-06-16 13:39:09 |

| Z2 | Not built in Australia - coupes were imported. | 2020-05-26 16:20 | ||
| Z2 | 1990+ painted mirrors. Could be either 300CE/320CE seeing as this is Australia (there was also a 300CE-24 but the badge looks too short to be that variant). -- Last edit: 2020-05-21 02:14:17 |

| Z2 | Looks like painted mirror and 1989+ CHMSL, so 325i (320i was dropped in 1990 and was never available with the painted mirrors), around 1992-ish. -- Last edit: 2020-05-21 00:38:33 |

| MisterZ | 1989+ facelift due to badging below the tail lights. On 1987-1988 models the badges were above the lights. | 2020-05-19 18:33 | ||
| dhill_cb7 | Yezir. If it had cornering lamps it would be a 1992. This one is equipped with LX and is sporting the 208A preferred package by the Keyless Entry Pad. |

| bulldog332 | Hi EPBill, To the best of my knowledge, around 100 MK1 Metros were imported in batches over the course of a couple of years - this explains why some were branded Reliant, some MCW. The earliest import group of 14 (of which mine was one) were all white and had no running gear at all. They were fitted out with the Holden Commodore VN running gear and went to work. They weren't very popular with fleet drivers. Mine was used across Oz; NT, NSW, QLD and VIC. Once it was out of service, the person who owned it decided it would make a good promotional vehicle and painted it black - seemingly with a brush and roller. It was in a lot worse condition than I had been told, and I have had to really work hard on it to get it running again - which it is. The other cabs that came in were MCW branded, and had Ford engines and running gear, and the grille badges were changed to Ford ones. All the cabs were given strengthened bumpers and brakes etc to meet Australian road standards. The ones with Holden running gear had special bonnets and scoops made by Sydney Special Vehicles. All of them ran exclusively on LPG. I bought it because my old man was a cabbie and had a Metro in the 90s too. It was the best cab he'd had since getting out in 1970, he says. I've taken mine as far as I can, and have just sold it to a nice bloke from Warragul who is planning on hotrodding it. I'm just glad it's not going to the crusher... Let me know if you have any specific questions, I might have an answer or two, or be able to find out. Cheers |

| dhill_cb7 | 1975 was the first year for the optional rear door seen. Verified via 1975 brochures. |

Gag Halfrunt  | bulldog332 has never posted any other comments, so they probably don't visit the site regularly or at all. | 2019-08-30 13:09 | ||
EPBill  | That's very interesting to know, bulldog332. I ran a Metrocab in London in the 1990s and have researched the history of London cabs extensively. I've been trying to find out more about the importation of them into Australia. Would you know any more about the story, please? Interesting too to see the yellow example, which I understand to be in Melbourne colours | 2019-08-30 12:44 | ||

| bulldog332 | I now own the black Metrocab in this thread. I paid for it sight unseen (stupidly) and I had it brought down to Melbourne. I'm slowly getting it back on it's feet. It was in far worse condition than the pictures show. After a lot of investigation, I have found out that it is indeed a 1991 Reliant, imported the same year with 13 identical cabs, all with no engines. they were fitted with Commodore VN 3.8 V6 engines, with modified bumpers, bonnet and brakes. Very few of them left, which is a real shame as there are some parts I just cannot find, thus far preventing me from getting a roadworthy - very frustrating! | 2019-03-18 06:51 | ||

Sandie  | Found a few for sale ads for Australian Metrocabs (copying the most useful pictures in case the ads go off line): Link to "www.gumtree.com.au" ![[Image: aus_2_metrocab.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_2_metrocab.jpg) ![[Image: aus_2_metrocab_2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_2_metrocab_2.jpg) ![[Image: aus_2_metrocab_3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_2_metrocab_3.jpg) ![[Image: aus_2_metrocab_4.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_2_metrocab_4.jpg) This one is a closer match for this one here (grille, bumper etc): Link to "www.ebay.com" ![[Image: aus_1_metrocab.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_1_metrocab.jpg) ![[Image: aus_1_metrocab_2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_1_metrocab_2.jpg) ![[Image: aus_1_metrocab_4.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_1_metrocab_4.jpg) ![[Image: aus_1_metrocab_5.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7478/aus_1_metrocab_5.jpg) Info on this ad is a bit conflicted, built 1993, registered 1994 but described as a Reliant Metrocab (so should be before 1991?). VIN has M as a modelyear digit which usually means 1991. Also there is a Reliant badge on the steering wheel, which points to Reliant and 1991 or earlier being correct. So what does this mean for identifying these? Well, it seems they mirrored the UK manufacturer names. Not sure when they stopped (were there any after Reliant sold off the Metrocab?) but as an earliest possibility it seems this type of front (grille and bumper) started with Reliant there. I'm clearing these two unknown Metrocabs as Reliant for this reason pending further information. |

| Julian | Grey/black 2-tone was only available in 86' and 87' and was fairly rare - less than 1500 made. | 2016-05-04 16:09 | ||

| night cub | It means that his grandfather is not alive. | 2016-01-03 04:20 | ||
| Baube | just curious, saw this many times, what is the meaning of late in this expression ? |
2016-01-03 03:26 | ||
| rjluna2 | My late grandfather let me drive his 1972 Volkswagen Sedan 'Beetle' in 1979. |

| Baube | i'm not THAT old... ( but close, i was -2 years old when the original one came out.. ) was referring to that little part of the lyrics : " not old - just older " |

| johnfromstaffs | The year you learned to drive was my 50th, and I had already held a driving licence for 33 years, and had covered about 700k miles. I had also beaten four Hillman Hunters to death by then. -- Last edit: 2016-01-02 18:36:46 |

| antp | It's frightening for us old people to discover that the end-of-90s year in the nickname of some users is their own year rather than their car's year, like what could be expected on a car-related site (and in my case, I learned to drive in 1998, so that makes me feel old...) |

tore-40  | Neither the front seems to be correct | 2015-12-28 20:24 | ||
| ingo | Yes, it's a cobbled selfmade-wannabe-Cabriolet-clunker, based on a LHD 1303, so no Aussie-spec Super Bug. No Super Beetle either, as there are no American applications. The AUS-typical "Volkswagen L"-badge was put later on it, maybe the complete engine-lid. It's no original paintwork either, widely similar to "mayametallic", but not the original tone. Does it even have a cloth-roof? It looks rather like a tarpaulin. Maybe there is something roof-similar underneath, but it's definitely not original Karmann-made, nor the aftersales market "Sonnenland"-roof.  it seems, that it has two different back wings. On the main pic it seems, the elephant-foots are not in the same level. -- Last edit: 2015-12-28 20:00:44 |

| tore-40 | It seems to be Volkswagen L like the Australian CKDs would have. But then again not even the front and rear number plates are matching. | 2015-12-28 19:29 | ||

130rapid  | The alloys indicate 1982-1984 5 TX / TX Automatic indeed. Color & headrests confirm. However side claddings are unusual. | 2015-12-28 18:35 | ||
