There was a super clean '93 Metro 1.0L with 130k KMs at the auction last week but that's it. I totally spaced out on getting pictures of it.
If you're still rescuing those cars, have you ever posted on GeoMetroForum.com? I'd be willing to bet there are members there who would come get them from you.

I'm still looking for a (another) decent 96-00 1.0 5-speed. A non-rusty one turns up around here roughly once every 2 years by my count. If I don't have one by 2018, I may have to get you to hook me up!

PS: the Pinto is awesome. That colour combo! And stick!

We should start a thread for "eco-driving/modding classic eco cars". This summer I have myself lined up for my first ever turn behind the wheel of an original Beetle and a Mini Cooper.
