Bit of a rarity to have a Mk.1 LHD Maestro too.

Left hand drive Maestros aren't particularly rare at all... when you compare them to other street furniture of the same age. Granted, most of the left hand drive ones are much later examples and usually from the Ledbury and Apple 2000 cars.

Left hand drive Mk1 cars... I can think of two in the UK off the top of my head; my one above and an MG1600 a friend of mine owns. It has the digital dash and voice synthesiser that speaks English, French, German and Italian.

My own is a 1300HL, and was new in Switzerland. As such, Austin Rover went to the trouble to equip it with an emissions control system for sale in this tiny and insignificant market. It has a double bottom pulley that drives an air pump, with a pipe to an injection rail that delivers air to the exhaust ports. Rudimentary stuff.
