Yep, the MGA 1500 and the early-60's Datsun "Fairlady" 2-seater sports car had interchangeable parts. The Metropolitan was built in Belgium, with a British Leyland engine and sheet metal that resembled an early 50's Nash. The original engine was 900 CC, later upgraded to 1200. I kept one of the ragged-azz little things running for a college buddy back in the late 60's. They had a nasty habit of the front suspension breaking off!
