Can't you plead insanity & withdraw your bid???
They were bloody awful cars in their day! Why would you want one now? Only the VDP All Agro & Princess were worse cars!  ;) ;)

A collector's car? More like a forgetter's car.

As said, they were terrible, and a gutless 1275 one? :o

My mate's MG Maestro was almost forgiveable on account of the fact that it went like the clappers (into the ditch if you didn't brace the steering wheel against the awful torque steer).

Still, at least it doesn't have the pointless talking computer. :-X

Oh dear.
I used to have one of those, it was two tone red and grey and came with chrome door mirrors. I'd been trying to forget about it but you've just reminded me all about it. And the 2.0 Montego automatic I had after it.

I cant see the one on fleabay going for more than five hundred squid, not this close to Christmas... Guess you'll have some explaining to do to swmbo!

I used to drive around in them for work (albeit it the van versions), not that bad. Better than the other options we had at the time (Ital, now that was bad, or the Escort which was truely the worse of the lot).  The A series is indestructable, even when given to 18yr olds, along with £1m of liability insurance ::)

But I wouldn't buy one.
