A Mark II version of the Metro was introduced in 1984. During the early part of its production life the Metro had been the best selling mini car in the country before being eclipsed by the updated Ford Fiesta in 1984. The Vanden Plas variant received the same MG engine from 1984 onwards, with the exception of the VP Automatic, which retained the 63 bhp 1275 cc unit. The Metro was by then in its fifth year, built at Longbridge by BL.
