Description
The 1960 Metropolitan 1500 Series IV is a charming blend of American styling and British engineering. Finished in a turquoise-and-white two-tone (Berkshire Green and Frost White), this hardtop features a stellar repaint, chrome trim, Metropolitan hubcaps, and a Continental-style rear spare.
Inside, the black-and-white cabin retains its period character with a front bench seat, original-style dashboard, Smiths instrumentation, and heater/defroster. The odometer shows 57,140 miles.
Power comes from a 1.5-liter BMC B-Series inline-four paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. The car starts easily, runs well, and offers the fun driving experience for which these compact classics are known. Recent service includes approximately $1,200 in brake work, including rear brake shoes and related components, along with a new battery documented by a $498 invoice.
