1957 Austin Nash Metropolitan convertible SOLD

This is a 1957 convertible in Berkshire Green/ Frost White. The original car was red and white and was stripped to the bare shell, which was then treated to a two-stage phosphate dip at Pro Strip in Nottingham. Any poor metal was removed and made good. Car was then waxoiled and rebuilt with the intention of keeping it as original as possible. Principal new parts include windscreen, headlights and indicators, grille surround, wiring loom, new seat padding and upholstery, new hood and half tonneau, various rubbers and a new exhaust. This car is NOT a show winner and paint isn't quite perfect; however, it is quite delightful as it is or could be detailed further, if the new owner desired. Original Devon registration is included; car has an MOT and is of course tax-free. Along with the car I will supply manuals, a huge file of old club newsletters going back to the early years and a memory stick of photos showing all the work done during the rebuild.
Sadly, a new project forces the reluctant sale of this car which is a real head-turner and can seat four (when the top is raised). It's a lively performer, with a lazy 1500cc engine and a three speed gearbox. Not many are left now in the UK and there are even fewer without body filler...
Think summer: think Metropolitan!
