I cannot remember more. I friend of mine had a metallic burgundy one which used to travel in Britain at the time. There he was questioned about the strange Metro he was driving. I think to remember that I once noticed on an italian BL cars price list that even Maestros and Montegos in Mayfair trim, but I cannot be sure 10% about this.

My guess is Mayfair name used for export to Europe 1985-86 of what in UK was Metro Vanden Plas, but then became a UK edition in 1987 - Link to "www.ebay.co.uk" , http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201908078878 - as a not-quite-VdP.
