1988 Austin Maestro Auto - Cream/Caramel - £200

[254575]

Anyone interested in this beauty?

 

 

 

only owned this 6 months, 73k miles, Stops and Goes, MOT and Tax both lapsed back in april.

 

I am selling this car as I have run out of room! I usually put stuff up on here dirt cheap so i don't have to deal with the general public,  I have other classic cars which I drive more often than this one so unfortunately it has to go

 

This car looks respectable from a few yards. but once you get close you can see it has been subjected to a few slap-dash bodywork repairs. 

 

things I have noticed from the few times I have driven it:

 

• Exhaust is a little noisy, I am not sure if it has got a hole in it, as these aren't the quietest of exhausts
  
• Steering wheel wobbles up an down a bit,I noticed when I checked the MOT history online that It had been mentioned before.
  
• Headlining is sagging a little
  
• Water leaked into the car the only time I left it outside when raining!
  
• Autochoke appears not to be working well, have to wait a few minutes before commencing journey
  

 

I have driven this car about 300 miles in total, with no issues, and at motorway speeds.

 

Now all the bad stuff is out of the way

 

This car has had 4 keepers from new, the keeper before me had owned it since 1992

 

as you can tell from the MOT history, the car has only done 5000 miles in the last 6 years

That interior is brilliant! Love it GLWTS and all that!

[garycox]

I think one beige Maestro is enough!

 

It does look ace though.

[Sigmund Fraud]

Argh !!! Must resist !!!

 

Anyone wants a shagged Allegro, so I can take this on ?

but that doesn't tell you where OP is, I agree.

[Junkman]

Nah, it was simply daft on my part. Please excuse.

[phil_lihp]

Looks good enough to eat!  GLWS etc.

[254575]

thanks all, dont be shy, make me an offer or a swap?

[Sigmund Fraud]

thanks all, dont be shy, make me an offer or a swap?

 

As above, swap for a dead Allegro ? Unlikely, but PM me if at all interested !

[Junkman]

Since having it transported from where it is now to the world centre of culture and good taste would vastly outstrip the council tax revenue of Weatherfield, I must ask this question:

 

What would it take to have it MoTed?

MATCHING MONTEGO LURKING IN BACKGROUND...!!!!!!

[Slappy]

Someone should buy that ShittyRover and beige it up too...

[254575]

They are all mine! That's Rob T's old montego. CityRover is mine too .

 

I've booked the maestro for an MOT next tues. lets see what it needs to get back on the road.

[254575]

just received the call from the MOT tester. its failed, needs some welding around the bottom of the rear driverside  wheel arch/ door - it looks like its been bodged there in the past and a bit on the other side. i'll get some pics up

 

so - £200 as it stands, still a gr9 bargain
