Nash Metropolitan

Not your *normal* Nash Metropolitan.

I saw this on ~Another Forum~ and thought that some of you might appreciate how kooky it is (in a sort of a cool way).
It is apparently powered by a Honda S2000 drivetrain.

Guy did quite a job of the bodywork...wonder how heavy it is & how much body filler's under that paint!

Best looking Metro I've seen. It might make a good modern repro (like the New Beetle, the BMW Mini, PT Cruiser, and so on) since it has such easily identifiable styling cues - like the doors. It could be called the "Metro Repro" or "Mepro" or something. It least it has some character...

In the "full face" and 3/4 view I think it is amazing how (somehow!) it has kind of a Healey look to it!!!! I agree that it is the best looking Metro I have seen too!

Somehow this post repeated itself, then would not allow me to delete the second one, so I figured I'd just edit it!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif

I like this Metropolitan, some great creativity that went into it, and it doesn't look to bad in the process... So I assume it has a Honda S2000 engine? Or something else? Just curious...
