Thanks, AMoffat - another perfect excuse to bore people about Maestros
Outside my house currently are 2 Maestros. I've had Hexie, a 1985 1.6 metallic Silver Leaf Vanden Plas for approaching 2 years now. I love him to bits, and I've spent a lot of money getting the bodywork in pretty damn good condition, and getting the mechanics into shape. Currently the steering rack is a little suspect, so that's due a change, and may have been the cause of the crash I had in it a couple of months ago. Still, I would rather sell a relative than part with him.
My more recent aquistion, nearly 2 weeks ago, was a very rare Austin Maestro camper van. It's a 1989 vintage, with a 2.0 Perkins diesel engine. It was a real bargain, and is something I've been after for ages, so the fact that it needs a little bodywork and sprucing up doing to it isn't a problem - besides, I bought him as a project car anyway.
Pics to follow as separate posts - for some reason I can only post 1 at a time.
