1985 Rover - Austin Maestro Vanden Plas review from UK and Ireland
"If you want an old nippy car that is cheap to run and comfortable, this is great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket went recently.
Using a lot of oil.
Used to use loads of petrol.
General comments?
I was not sure about the car because it had Austin wrote on the back.
But I have been impressed.
It is cheap to run and is very nippy.
It is extremely comfortable.
