Condition

The car is described as having been resprayed and rechromed, suggesting cosmetic work has been done. It's reported to have no rust and original panels. However, it has been in storage and required recommissioning, indicating some mechanical work was needed to make it roadworthy again. The expired MoT suggests it has not been driven for a while.

Description
The Metropolitan was built by Austin at its Longbridge, Birmingham, plant, to be sold by Hudson and Nash in the United States as a small car, at a time when compact vehicles were a rare thing in the USA.
From 1956 though, Austin started producing its own version to sell in the UK and other markets where Nash and Hudson didn't have a presence.
This very colourful and attractive example was registered in July 1958 (as a UK car) and is now showing 34,017 miles on its odometer.
Four previous registered owners are recorded.
The vendor believes that the Metropolitan was resprayed between 2015 and 2019, with the front and rear bumpers also rechromed and the car rewired while the vehicle was in storage and not used on the road.
Beyond this, the vendor's opinion is that there are no signs of restoration and all the panels are original with no rust evident within the chassis of body panels.
The engine is described as 'original' and in 'fine fettle'.
