A plea to members of the public and Club members alike to assist us with the following -
(replies will be treated in confidence if requested)
How Many
One of the questions we're often asked is "how many Metropolitans are there in the UK"? The answer is we do not know. Obviously we are aware of the vehicles owned by Club members but we also believe that there must be other cars out there that are not known to us. The Metropolitan Owners Club UK would like to ask you to help us, whether you are a Club member or not, in documenting these vehicles. So, if you know the whereabouts of any Metropolitan that you believe does not belong to a club member, please let us know by contacting - steve@metclubuk.com Obviously the more details you can provide the better. The information you provide will be used solely for the purposes of creating a register of surviving vehicles, so if you know of or own a Metropolitan, we would like to assure you that it will not be our intention to pressurise you into joining the club, although of course, we would make you very welcome if you chose to.
Where are they now?
In a similar vein, there are vehicles that were known to us in the past but have since gone off our radar. Do you know the current whereabouts of the following or have any information that would help us trace them?
 | This is a good photo sent to us by non-club member Phil Richards of Carmarthen, which we believe was possibly taken in the 80's at an auction in Wiltshire. If not, does anyone recognise the location? The car on the left, NDR 701, was first registered in Plymouth on 18 Sept. 1957 and it is known that it still retains its original number, but has been off the road since March 1994. The later series car 780 UPH originally hailed from Surrey and was first registered on 1 June 1961. Again this car is known to have been off the road since early 1995. It would be great to reunite the photo with the cars, so do you know where they are now - or indeed where they were then? |
 | 8775 KB This car was advertised for sale in June 1996 in the Popular Classics magazine, by a dealer in the Herfordshire area. It looks to be a pre-1959 model but the number plate is later so it maybe it was re-imported, as the date of registration was often the date of re-import. Does anyone have the answer and know what became of it? |
