1988 Rover - Austin Maestro L review from UK and Ireland
"Seriously underrated piece of great British engineering"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust blown.
Small patch of welding needed for the MOT.
General comments?
Amazing little machine, cost me just £100 to buy, with no trouble since I bought it.
It needed just £60 to go through the MOT meaning I had bought a car for £160 for 1.5 years running.
Great value for money with huge amounts of practicality, loads of space within sitting 5 adults comfortably.
Performance is great coming from the acclaimed A-series 1275 cc engine from the Mini, only needs a fifth gear for better motorway cruising. Although ride is still very smooth at 70 mph.
A lot better than a Fiesta!!!!!!!!
