That MG Maestro. Mmnnn.

There's a BRG MG Maestro 3 doors away from my old mans, arches and bottoms of doors are all rotten but my god am I tempted to go and make an offer on it. It was definitely in daily use until last year but it's looking a bit moss'd up round the windows now...hmm this has got me thinking!

word of caution of anything maestro, they are not that easy for spares mind!

Had to go drive past it!

if you do some digging JJ, you might be ok. But when I was talking to a lad who had an MG maestro at MG Live 2013, he said the Maestro side of things is very, very quiet on the forum side. If you want to look into it further, I can try and see what info I can get from the metro owners club, as some of them are in know with that side.
Be nice if you can save it, as these do not really get the respect at all and are shunned like the metros. its either the MGFs, MGs (the posh rover range) or MGBs and minis, the montego again is another one that doesn't get a look in either.

Are you feeling alright? You're venturing outside the newbie forum

I am not always in the newbie forum. I go on chat and reply to other threads .

Looks Good , I agree with procta too many older rovers like this dont get the attention they should.

[grantpipe]

Talbot sunbeam would love to own one but very rarely I even see them coming up for sale unless there rally cars or madly expensive . Maybe one day

[procta]

just past a ford capri and a white mk3 escort estate, that had the RS kit on it.

[Choppin]

Keep meaning to pop this up on here, it's my friends Talbot Samba Cab,  apparently 1 of only 4 left on the road, 

[attachment=23580]

We needed to fix a monumental oil leak and annoyingly the only way to sort it is to take the engine out, Fingers crossed should be back on the road for summer, anyway not my sort of car but thought some of you may like it

[Poodle]

Now that really is rare! Talbot 205 cti isn't it?

[procta]

tbh poodle anything with the word Talbot, is a rare sight to see on our roads, I have only seen two lotus sunbeams, those were used for racing in the northern classic car champion ship.

[Choppin]

Yeah never see Talbots around anymore, well other than the campers but they don't count haha its not a 205..........I mean really!?! Haha it's basically a peugout 104 underneath but personly a lot nicer

[procta]

even the campers you don't really see now either.

[Poodle]

Ah it's a 104 underneath, fair enough. I don't know do i, i only geek out on a select few diesel engines.

[Choppin]

Haha to be fair I didn't even know they existed before my friend got 1!! Just seen what my spell check did to the word Peugeot!! And what a place to do it!! F**king Ifail!! Haha

[chylledapps]

Saw an H plate escort cabbie today, too slow for a pic tho

[Jimmy306uk]

The slag is now in my hands

[Pete]

Spotted a Mk2 Cavalier the other day, A rare sight in itself...but this one was an estate! Rare when they were new.

[Herby7]
