It broke it's backbone, tail, head, legs, body and ears. But the rest of it was really nice. puddlethumper, garethj, MiniMinorMk3 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remspoor Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 21 hours ago, grogee said: Curious Maestro mystery. Can any BL lickers tell me if digital dash was an option on 1.3L spec? I thought it was only MG/VDP that could have it. Anyway, good donor for bits for mine, but may skyrocket in price due to digital dash 80s mania. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334722859896?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lNKbcVwyRI6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=2Z40wC2iSsq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 17 hours ago, High Jetter said: Am pretty sure it wasn't, at least 1.6HL or above. The digital dash on the Maestro was standard fit on VP and MG 1600 versions. Optional extra on the 1.6HLS. It was an option for early EFi engined MGs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Maestro#Novel_features Some way down on this page. https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/austin/maestro/lc10-development-story/ High Jetter, garethj and grogee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet this is a 1.3L with digital dash. Which would be unremarkable except I'm struggling to work out how it was integrated onto a 1.3 A-series, if the only factory options were 1.6 or 2.0. The underbonnet shot doesn't seem to show any fudged wiring (admittedly hard to tell among the BL Spaghetti). Is it a Bitsa car? Bitsa this, bitsa that? Either way it's BIN at £750, a steal* for 80s digital CoMpUtErIzEd space age. Not obvious from the eBay pics whether it's got the talking module, which sits to the left of the instruments - I thought digital = talking, but maybe not in this case.

Tried to buy it back years ago when I heard the current owner was scrapping it due to an electrical fault. I went straight round but was too late. He got £35, prick.

If I recall, and I did have an early MG, there is metal to be some sort of metal "box" which gathered the information from the sensors. This was in the engine bay. My old Hanyes manual is in the attic so I cannot confirm. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
