This 1961 Metropolitan hardtop was repainted and the interior was refreshed in 2000, and it is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four that is said to have been rebuilt in 2019. Additional equipment includes a three-speed manual transmission, 13″ steel wheels, a Continental-style spare tire cover, a left side mirror, and lap belts. Purchased by the current owner in 2026, the car now shows 78k miles. This Metropolitan hardtop is offered in Canada with spare parts and Alberta registration in the seller’s name.
The car was repainted in 2000 and is equipped with a Continental-style spare tire holder, a left side mirror, and chrome bumpers. Close-up images of exterior blemishes are provided in the gallery.
The 13″ steel wheels with Metropolitan-branded hubcaps are mounted with Ultrex tires. Braking is handled by drums at all four corners.
The bench seat has been reupholstered and the carpeting has been replaced.
The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a Smiths 85-mph speedometer with an inset fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 78k miles.
The 1.5-liter inline-four was overhauled in 2019, per the seller. The battery was replaced in preparation for the sale. The seller notes that the carburetor weeps fuel when the vehicle has been sitting.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.
Removed and uninstalled spare parts will accompany the car, including a fuel pump, a distributor, side mirrors, windshield wipers, belts, an oil filter, and a trunk seal.
