A car slagged by many, but was quick, 105hp from an old 1.6 (twin 40mm webers) and generally comfortable and reliable, if a little rusty. I bought it for 750ukp, ran it for 18 months and sold it for 800ukp.
1983 MG Maestro 1600, bright yellow, twin 40 webbers, K&N filters, cherry bomb exhaust system, voice box in full working order, real eye catcher, great fun to drive. Passed it's MOT first time again.
