  Nash Metropolitan
The Metropolitan story started with the NXI and NKI experimental models, which were developed in 1949 and 1950 and then shown to selected audiences across the country.
Nash struck a deal with Austin Motor Company, which was at that time was, arguably, the world's foremost producer of small cars, to build what was still being referred to as the Nash NKI for export to America.
Still, the Metropolitan filled a niche and sold in decent numbers that persuaded American Motors brass to introduce a second version, while they continued to tinker with the Rambler American, which was one of America's first true "compact cars." The revised version of the Met offered a bigger engine and updated, even cuter styling.

It was considered more as a speciality vehicle and thus wasn't competition to other models in the BMC stable, such as the Morris Minor, Austin A35 and A40.
