eBay tat volume 3.

This Maestro must be menstrating as someone seems to be trying to hold an always-ultra onto the front bumper.

 

Why bother, who in their right mind is going to try to ring a 1991 Maestro?

Haha looks like its already experiencing brisker bidding than you would expect for a crusty Maestro thats been off the road for half a decade and needs welding, whats that you say? Its a 1275cc? Is that the distant thunder of ill-informed Mini engine rapists? You know it just might be.

On the other hand, 88bhp is nowhere near enough to shift that much car, Merc manuals tend to be horrible and the welding repair to the sill is absolutely horrific...

 

This on the other hand has some va-va-voom about it, though I'm not keen on how it looks like the suspension has collapsed.

I can never get over how quickly these have turned to complete doggy doo in the space of 10 years. New, they sold for the same kind of money as a Nissan 350z or Porsche Boxster and now they can be picked up for a few hundred quid.

Apparently these are the ones worth buying, pay well under a grand and just accept that any RX8 will need £3-4k worth of recon engine and buy it ready-fucked and you'll still save over a similarly aged Porker.

How difficult is an engine rebuild on one of these? What wears on them? From what I understand from asking about these once before there are only 3 moving parts in the engine.

 

What I also understand is that the MPG will soon make it uneconomical against other similar cars.

You'd think there would be some sort of cheap and cheerful "shite-ist" engine swap from a Datsun Sunny/Ford Escort/Yugo 55 or suchlike that could be shoe-horned into one of these on a Saturday afternoon type of scenario...? :mrgreen:

That oil barrell really sets this XJS off in the picture don't you think?

How did this survive in Paisley without getting torched or ram raided into a Spar shop?
