1986 Rover - Austin Maestro Van review from UK and Ireland
"A fantastic, reliable, cheap to run and maintain work horse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In over 10 years of ownership it has had a new radiator fitted, the head gasket was replaced last year at 120,000 miles.
Also three patches of welding plus of course the usual tyres, exhausts and normal service items.
General comments?
One of the best vehicles I have owned.
Why did Rover stop making them in 1994 and not replace them?
