* 16 October - There is good news for
state-owned car maker Austin Rover. On
the day that a facelifted version of
the top selling Austin Metro, now
available as a five-door as well as a
three-door, is launched, it is
announced that sales for September
have increased by 39% over the same
period last year. The pre-facelift
Metro was Britain's best selling car
last month, while the mid-range
Maestro (launched 18 months ago) was
the second best seller ahead of its
key rival the Ford Escort, and the
six-month-old Austin Montego was the
fifth best seller ahead of the Ford
Sierra.
