drum Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ideal colour to go with a certain broken P38.I would love it, but ... no time, money and I've run out of hiding places. I have a clubman I haven't been near for two years. I think you should buy my p38. Easy fix for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I remember going to see one of these in about 1995 and this is mint in comparison. Love the colour. Hope it finds a good home. cort16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If this was down south there would be another £1000 on the price, I think that's excellent value and it wouldn't take a awful lot to sort those paint issues out. Almost tempted myself and I can't stand Maestros! cort16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yeah the MG ones are the only ones to have, I spent 4 years after leaving school at a body shop and our bread and butter work was local garages who seemed to stock pile these in the late 90s, there wasn't a week go by were I wasn't repairing sills or rear arches on them and it's left a haunting memory forever! That said as the years go by I do fancy a MG Montego more and more. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I should buy it too, I would love it but having recently tried nursing one 4x4 with overheating issues south I dont fancy doing it again. drum and loserone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The EFi is a very under rated hot hatch, faster than the XR3i of the time, and lots of torque GLWTS eddyramrod and alf892 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevebrookman Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Best hot hatch of the 80's. If it wasn't for the cars I already have, lack of space, my wife- I'd buy it. Friend had a brand new early 1600 twin Webber version-went very well-same colour as well-so always had a soft spot. GLWTS-wish it was me!

DavieW Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ahh. The torque steer..... Tyres scrabbling for grip due to the powah... The dashboard .....Wonderful memories. If you thought that had bad torque steer, try the turbo version Exiled_Tat_Gatherer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overrun Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 A mate of mine who was a car thief back in the late '90s really rates these as not just easy to steal but quicker than a mk4 XR3i and mk2 Golf GTi 8v.The fucking scum bag. Have him buy it, then hopefully someone nicks it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 One of my favourite ever rides was the Turbo version........... I love these. A mate had a VDP auto and it was a stonker too - unfortunately I was 23 at the time and drove it like I stole it everywhere. My mate was a mechanical fucktard and killed it through negligence. Mine was put through a garden wall and into a house in Norwich by an 'associate' sadly. This is a beaut! I'm chocka on projects ongoing and shite incoming so I'm shackled for taking this too fella - deepest regrets. I'd love to be doing a 800mile+ OMGSNOKAOS KOLLEKSHUN for it if I could tho! Someone keep it in the fold for later roffle/purchase shenanigens pretty pretty please............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I really, really fancy this. Room available at the Inn too. I also really want a Dolomite, but this is actually probably a much better car really.

sierraman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The box for Isopon P38 still features a silver Maestro. That says it all for me. Really rare machine now one of these. In about 2004 I saw an ad for a 1.6 MG Maestro. Wasn't dear at the time, wish I'd bought it now. BorniteIdentity and cort16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
