Mine was a white 998cc Metro HLE (whatever that meant).

And the really embarrassing thing was, I stuck one of those back window stickers you get from Halfords that read METRO.

IIRC, it had a 4-speed overdrive gearbox, i.e. max speed was reached in 3rd gear and 4th was for "cruising"........

A blue Montego caught fire whilst driving to my Saturday job at Tescos.

That explains why, when I changed down from 4th to 3rd it had no guts and the fact it was a metro.
