The Nash Metro used a low-compression, single-carb version of the BMC 1500,
also used in some Austins. The Magnette motor was very close to the MGA. The
Metro also came with a 3-speed gearbox with a column (actually dashboard)
shifter.

I'm pretty sure another source for that engine is the Magnette. If anybody
is
interested, I have a friend with 1500 engine sitting on a stand in his
garage. It is from an old Magnette. The car was a rusty hulk which he's
parting out, but the engine was apparenlty in very good rebuildable shape.
