And, as mentioned in the Oct 23 issue of Autoweek, pg 25, the Nash
Metropolitan.  Sold in the US by Nash-Kelvinator (later AMC) from 1954 -
1962, but built at the Austin plant in Longbridge.  As pointed out in the
article, it is related to the MGA, "a fact Metropolitan owners often like to
point out; MG enthusiasts, hardly ever".  In 1956 it received the 1489cc B
series engine.
