Parky Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Would it be worth advertising it with the Maestro and Montego owners club as well? http://maestro.org.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 yes the famous vw golf 4 speed box,a series 0.60 in god knows, 12.5 seconds if I recall correctly. I seem to remember it was faster than a BMW 520i, which was important as an eight year old. warren t claim, Alexg, EssDeeWon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Your Gumtree competition is a Vanden Plas with the talking dash in York - albeit at twice the price. Cavcraft and EssDeeWon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 This is great. I was well up for it a while back but now have two other shitters clogging up the drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexg Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 12.5 seconds if I recall correctly. Really? That seems surprisingly brisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Probably because it is quite light compared to a modern car of similar size. Plus the A series was a decent little unit MarvinsMom and 3VOM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 You made me doubt myself and look it up, but I CAN still remember numbers after 24 years! http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/austin/maestro/maestro_hatchback/1990.html I've posted before of my father's tales of throwing his round roundabouts at thirty with all four wheels drifting - when the suspension was new! I'd love a go of one, but £$, space, and the fact it's just too far south mean sadly ahm oot. Edited to add: this new means it'll have the revised head with hardened valves for newfangled green fuel.

Guest Hooli Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 My dad had one for 10 days. Then some twat punted it up the arse & pushed it into a ditch, cue three months arguing with an insurance company that it might have just been worth what was paid for it 10 days earlier! He replaced it with a Montego Countryman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drum Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 My 1275 Clubman goes well. Great cars the maestros, they feel modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Shepherd Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Could be the cheapest way to get into Maestro ownership, as they will no doubt become more expensive in the future due to the recent Practical Classics feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Fiats Sake Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have a set of alloys suitable for this, they are the wire wheel type spoke design and have been refurbed pro-fesh-unally. Said pro-feshunal still has them as I can't be arsed to go to York to collect them.If the winner of this undoubtedly fine conveyance requires such a set of wheel trinkets they can be had for what they cost me to buy and refurb.Or I'll stick them on mOngbay instead.I had a clubman back in the day, took me nearly 9 hours to get from York to Plymouth, I was driving like a totally giffer though!
