It's apparently *only* nine cars and 100 will remain, but it still saddens me. Only the other day I was explaining to a young colleague how you could drive past the Vauxhall factory in Luton back in the 70s and the car park opposite was filled exclusively with Vauxhall cars; nothing else got a look in.

phil_lihp Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Apparently the reason for selling those Vauxhalls off is to make room as they are relocating to different premises. The ones being sold off do seem to mostly be the less interesting ones - perhaps they still have other better examples of the Nova, Tigra, Omega etc. in their collection. Anyway, have a mildly incoherent advert for a very nice MG Maestro to go with the Montego. No tailgate and off the road for 14 years but looks nice enough....but not 100% sure it's a real MG going by the chrome door handles and ride height, looks like a bit of a mongrel but in decent condition regardless. The plate is shown in the last photo, comes up as a H plate Rover Maestro but it is a 2.0. Did they make the MG that late? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324577113721?hash=item4b924db679:g:bJUAAOSwOrJgeXoC Tenmil Socket and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
