Greg,
The engine was an Austin Motors engine I don't know who manufactured the MGA
engine. I owned a Metropolitan for about 10 years in the 90's and it was a
very simple car and a lot of fun to drive. The most unique feature was it was
almost identical in appearance to the regular Nash cars made at that time
but was about 2/3 the size
I think the posting on ebay was a simple mistake-something like punching up
"Austin - Healey related items " The price on ebay is totally ridicuilous!

Simple mistake--or clever marketing ploy using the Healey name to up the
image
of the lowly commuter Nash?
Who knows?, motor is from an MGA--so calling it an AH is just not right.
