The fastest stock engined Metropolitan Nash you'll ever see and a 1960 (? maybe '61) Morris Mimnor 1000 .

I love tiny little cars that fit like gloves .

The met was my touring car until I broke it badly in another state, it's patiently waiting for me to cherry pick from several engines the best parts, slap my modified cylinder head on it, rebuild the Borg Warner M35 slushbox tranny and go thrash it some more .

It looks terrible but I love it and the local British Sports Car guys all love trying to keep up with it in the twisty bits .

I've been massaging, peaking and tweaking it for twenty some years now .

The Morris, I bought it and drove it three times, began working on it and the "Might As Wells" got way out of hand ~ it's a nice solid car but everything but the engine proper, was worn out .
