The first Metropolitans had an 85 inch wheelbase, were smaller than the Volkswagen Beetle, and came as a convertible and a hardtop with an Austin A40 series 1,200 cc four cylinder engine and a three speed gearbox. Production at Austin's Longbridge factory began in October 1953 and the first Nash badged cars went on sale on March 19, 1954. After the first ten thousand cars the engine became a B series unit. Its model years run from 1954 to 1955.
