Yup, and a Maestro turbo - turbocharged 2.0 lump. 0-60 in 6.7 which is pretty respectable, though I do like what Wikipedia has to say about the car:

but the high performance, Tickford designed bodykit and alloys did little to disguise the fact that it was very much still a Maestro

Pretty sure my Dad's old Maestro was this colour - although it had the rattly agricultural tractor engine in it (Perkins Prima).

I'd love a Maestro Turbo, they only made 505 of them and I bet there's less than a handful left

There used to be one right round the corner from my house - although it was used daily it looked in a very sorry state BL didn't really 'do' rustproofing..

I was looking at a Maestro turbo on the bay last couple of days in super rare black, as rotten as a pear but that blue one caught my eye to reshell the turbo

What swmbo will say if I win it though worries me

4 options here----
1-claim someone has hijacked your ebay account
2-claim insanity
3-leave the country
and if all else fails go on the offensive
5-claim it was going to be a surprise christmas present for her and now she has spoilt it!

She just said 'If I said that she would run me over with it'....   I then said that she did not know what an Austin Maestro was and got a very indignant 'I do'       

I thought I had better mention it, just in case.........

I am still alive so hands off, at this price I want it........

Vamps don't do it Think of the consequences! The shame and derision you will receive.
For the sake of your family and your reputation, you must stop now, and declare yourself insane

   i had  a B plate MG Montego years ago. Went well and had the silky smooth Honda gearbox in it. Electrics were a let down in the end. The Turbo,ed ones were very manic, would leave rubber at 85 mph in third

Hey Mike - thinking of bidding on this to help you out 

(No - not really!!)

[Vamps]

Still winning.......

[Webby the Bear]

Not a car I am keen on but the condition is wonderful, so a bit of a daft punt with a low maximum, If I win it well a nice little run around or for the car shows etc....
