What the clucking bell is up with that Maestro?

Is it the reg from a Mini Cooper? Why does the logbook also appear to have no mention of a Maestro? MANY QUESTIONS.

Delusional mental illness of the previous owner and cluelessness of the current one?

I would love one of these old tins for town work. Would have to be an early boggo one though, similar to this:

But nothing would induce me to part with 20 grand for the old shed. A tenth of that and I'd be interested, but why a 2 grand Mini when for the same money this forgotten gem could be had?

This has the best of both worlds; traditional Gerald Palmer/Nuffield Wolseley with BMC usuabilty... someone listen to your Squire for God's sake and buy it.

'IVE DONE SOME HOMEWORK BASED ON THIS TYPE OFF CAR BUT NOT THIS IGZACT TYPE'

 

I bet it wasn't. 

That looks like it might be a turbo so possibly an ex race car registered by an idiot

Maybe not a turbo now I look a bit more at it the pic looked like it had the locking ring on the dashpot that the turbos have

For pity's sake someone buy a proper car, not some God-awful euro fucking shit.

Don't be misled by the benign shape. These Sphinxes were a genuine 100 M.P.H. car, and this one looks like a steal.

I don't think I've ever seen a Sapphire that wasn't some hopeless pseudo-wedding car with shit paint and a cheap retrim before, great find! Presumably somebody will come along and ruin that one shortly, too

I daresay 100mph in that must have felt like quite an event for driver and passenger alike.

What does this mean?

Asking for a friend :)

What I meant was that the car will work as a non-hybrid if the drive battery is useless.

 

It has an ordinary battery and starter motor to get the engine running if the drive battery isn't up to starting. This battery is charged from the drive motor/ generator ( no ordinary alternator is fitted) via a DC (150ish volts) to DC(14.6 volts) converter. Quite a few cars run like this according to the Insight Central website, owners get used to the reduced performance and only slightly increased fuel consumption. And keep £2.5k that a new battery costs.

What's the performance loss? I think it feels like the difference between a 1275 mini and a 998 mini.

In one single moment your whole life can turn around, I stand there for a minute staring straight into the ground.
Looking to the left slightly then looking back down the world feels like its caravan in proper shit town.
Please let me show you how we could only just be for us. The best thing that can happen is if it gets pushed off a cliff in front of us.
We can even have an open relationship if we must.
I look at her, she stares almost straight back at me but her windows glaze over like she's looking straight through me.
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity, when they opened up she's lookin down at her shoe-laced fucking feet.

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

Dry your eyes M8, I know it's hard to take but it's fucked, that's why it's parked up.
It needs pushing into the sea.
Dry your eyes M8, I know you want to see if the gas works, but you're not shagging me in this, it's over.

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

 

So then I moved my hand off my red knob, shaking, my life is crashing before my eyes.
I turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies, touched her front bottom and let out a sigh.
Because I can't imagine my life without you and me, there's things I can't imagine doing, things I can't imagine cleaning.
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely, please please, I'm begging, please.
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested she wraps her fingers around the Ajax.

You're not sleeping with me 'til you've cleaned up this mess

s-l1600.jpg

 

Dry your eyes M8, I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up.
There's plenty more damp by the seats.
Dry your eyes M8, I know you want to make her see you in the knack, but you've got to walk away now, its over.

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

And I'm just standing there.
I can't say a word.
'Cause the even the electrics have gone.
I've changed the fuse.
Absolutely nothing.

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

 

Trying to pull her bra off out of desperation, put my arms around her to try to fumble with what she's wearing.
Put my head level with knockers so she might engage in.
Look into her eyes to make her listen again, I'm not gonna fuck yer I'm not going to fuck yer, just leave me alone.
'cause you said it would be a 2017 Adria PissPalace with cut glass decanters and gaudy ornaments  and that was your vow, and you've turned up with this bucket of bollocks which will simply crash and fall down.
Your well out of order now, this is well out of town.
She pulls away, my arms that are tightly clamped around her waist gently pushes me back as she looks at me straight.
Turns around so she's now got her back to my face, off you go son, jog on M8

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

Dry your eyes M8 I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up.
There's plenty more damp by the seats 
Dry your eyes M8, the whole thing's wetter than her gusset will ever be .

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

 

 

I know in the past I've found it hard to say, telling you things but not telling you straight. But the more I pull on your hand the more you pull away.
Dry your eyes M8, I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up.
There's plenty more flange by the sea.
Dry your eyes M8, I know you want to make her see how shit Great Yarmouth is, but you've got to walk away now.
