Can I interest any of you chaps in my Maestro LX auto.

 

Here is the thread from when I went to collect it. I bought it as a second car for the Mrs, but we barely used it.

Presuming this is a 1275, Steve?

I *might* have been interested if it were nearer Preston, where you found it...

GLWS mate, it's cheap at three.

In Maestros yes - which is why 1.6 Clubmans exist. Montegos had 2.0 auto as an option with both carb and EFi.

This is so tempting.... a perfect garage mate to a G-plate Croma?? Can I justify it? Nope. Can I afford it - Nope. Do i want it..... oooh yes! Mmmmmm.

 

Does it have PAS??? And no, I'm not being feeble, but I had a white 1.3LX a few years back. Was a great car apart from the slow, low geared steering, which for me, spoilt the car....

Posted

It has no PAS I'm afraid. I can deliver to shitefest though :)

time for a bump, having a shite sell off due to house move. will be putting more up soon

Posted

Jeez - a perfectly decent motor that costs as much to tax for 12 months than it does to buy :?:(

Posted

If no-one else wants this then I'll have it ... I won't be able to collect for about 3 weeks though, so if someone wants it before then feel free to sell it on.

Posted

3 weeks is fine. Will give me a chance to make sure battery charged, fluids etc

Posted

It would appear I am too late :shock:

however I would still like to display my deep interest in this particular vehicle.

I will wash and hoover it every day, I will even speak words of encouragement when it refuses to start

I need a Maestro in my life and this one is calling to me

I shall await your final decision firmly clutching the latest issue of autotrader and my cheese and branston sandwich.

I'm willing to stand aside and let you go for it if you really do want it pnaed ....

Awaiting progress with interest.

Umm, severely tempted but have other irons in the fire, but won't know until at least the weekend. Auto would be extra yummy due to knackered leg :D:D:D

 

Whereabouts in London are you??

Ken, if you want it go for it, I don't really need it and can't get down that way for a bit, so if its of use to you you're welcome to it.

Well the two other options have failed to materialise. The first one was an ebay find that someone bought off ebay when they went to view it with a day to go. Cheers for that.

 

The second car (Volvo) was a total washout as the owner never ever got back to me and to top it all, Mrs. PBK saw the piccies of the lovely Maestro and said that it was an old fogey's car and that I had better not be thinking of getting it. No automotive happiness for me then this weekend. Her idea of a nice car is her Micra. Go figure.

 

The search continues :roll:

Are they just sitting in your outbox? This will mean that the peoson has not logged on. If its anything else I cant help as I know nothing.

Hiya - been watching thread with interest - is the car still available?

 

I was planning on going down towards the end of the week to collect it, but if you want it go for it ..

Posted

G ZEUS

 

Hasn't this sold yet?

 

Its worth double on the bay

 

Where in London is it? If it doesn't sell I will have it

Posted

Im not particularly keen on selling it to people who hae just signed up. I like selling cars on though this forum as i can avoid the great unwashed and their unreasonable demands

 

Car is in J11 M25 - addlestone. I retaxed it at the weekend , so that's extra on top.
