1958 AUSTIN METROPOLITAN - COMING TO AUCTION 11TH MARCH For Sale by Auction

1958 AUSTIN METROPOLITAN

Registration Number: XOD 521
Chassis Number: HE6-HCS-76051
Recorded Mileage: 27, 500 miles

- Subject of previous extensive restoration

First registered in March of 1958, the earlier history of this Metropolitan is not known. However we do know that by 2007 the car was in the hands of an enthusiast who treated his Metropolitan to a comprehensive two-year restoration, finishing this charming coupe in two-tone Croton Green and Snowberry White.

Our current vendor (who incidentally bought his first Metropolitan aged 17 in the early 1960s!) acquired this example a few years ago to join a small classic car collection, storing the car in dry conditions and using it sparingly. The older restoration has held up well in recent years, with a few minor imperfections to the paintwork in localised areas. The Metropolitan has not been driven in recent times, and so will we believe benefit from a minor amount of recommissioning before pressing into service once more.

The Austin is offered with the original owner’s manual, driver’s handbook and period brochure, owner’s club material, older MoT certificates and tax disc, and UK V5C. All in all a thoroughly charming period piece which will raise smiles wherever it goes.

This motor vehicle will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 11th March 2023. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
