I think it's mainly because it looks so low in the pictures but I absolutely love this and it's so cheap as well. Clicky

No it's got to be banded steel with standard hub caps.

I think it is more likely that the suspension has collapsed.

If memory serves they're hydrolastic so it's probably had a load of fluid let out of it.
We just finished a 2 door MG 1300 for a customer that looked very similar when the fluid was low.

I used to have a Wolseley 1100 years ago in a similar colour. It handled better when the suspension was low and needed pumping up, which was every couple of months.

One Carb Or Two?

Judging by the panels it includes... 2 sets of floor pans? It might have a bit of rot underneath.

That is a pretty funky automobile!! 
... I have to say that I was bit disappointed though, as I was actually expecting one of the classic 70's type Austin Princesses, with the vinyl roof!!
