I think it might be a car alarm, there were some 1980s aftermarket alarms that had external keyholes. Fumbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a very sensible thing to to do. Had I not bought a 66 Minor convertible last week it would probably be mine already. It’s always the case, you make one carefully considered and rare addition to the fleet, and something all the more appealing rears its alluring head within days! What luck.

adw1977 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 1984 Austin Maestro 1300 1275 A+ Retro Stanced Lowered Classic Oh dear. "For Sale, the most famous Maestro on Facebook!!! 1984 1275 A+ Maestro. Last owner since 1986, always garaged and pumped with waxoyl. Never Welded, do ideal if you want to fully restore it to concourse spec Revolution 4 spokes, 5mm+ on the tyres which were new last year. Lowered on coilovers. Raised engine by 30mm so the sump clears the floor. Reinforced sump. Awesome fun car to drive, really pisses off the purists, totally different to anything else of the road, perfect classic to use as a daily. The reason for sale is to fund a new race car. I've still got the bumpers, standard suspension and wheels so you can return it to stock." Interior looks original too, so there may still be hope for it!

horriblemercedes Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 On 4/3/2021 at 1:19 PM, ChinaTom said: I’ve never driven it but have had a very scary ride in it - thankfully he knows the single track roads around his place well. There are a couple of cars like this that he lets go to people that he trusts will return them to him when they’re done with them. Hence the prices - just treat them as a deposit! His barns are now full of interesting cars - he’s well into Maseratis as well now, and has a proper nice Bitter SC. His connections with JDHT allow him to ‘borrow’ the XJ40 coupe and X300 convertible (Audi A4 hood apparently). I think he has an Enzo Ferrari thing going on where you have to be invited to buy certain cars despite being on general sale, and probably kneel down to sign the paperwork. That doubtlessly annoys a few people outside ‘the inner circle’ but to be honest he just worships the cars and is a genuinely nice generous bloke who lives and breathes for cars.
