All the D37x FYT plates come up as white Austin Maestro 700 vans, and all D37x FYY have disappeared apart from 370. a white Mitsubishi Starion Turbo(!). Another random Metro in later ep1.01 sequence .... changes position, so possible crew car.

I'll leave as is at the moment in anticipation of other early Metros, hoping a better one pops up later which can give a secure date.
