In 1997 the Series 2 arrived (too late for this film). So we have: - MCW Metrocab (1987-89) - Reliant Metrocab (1989-early 90s) - Hooper Metrocab (since)
Alexander ◊ 2006-06-18 01:26	I just noticed the third brake light. Since when is this legal in the UK?
Saturn Simon ◊ 2006-06-18 12:59	I'd say Hooper Metrocab. Third brake lights have been around a long time but were only made a legal requirement in the last few years. The film is 1995.
