MG Maestro Turbo

[billyo]

What are your thoughts on the MG Maestro Turbo. They seem to be a bargain now, a few years ago they were still fetching good money.

Are they really a bargain or are they a lot of trouble waiting to happen?

good cars mate, just find one with a really good body!!!

That's the issue, a lot have rusted away. They have stunning performance stats, especially considering it's age.

Didnt realise there were any left on the planet to be honest thought they had all rusted away....

They crop up for sale from time to time. A few are kept by enthusiasts and have been restored although the bottom would appear to have fallen out of the market.

I think hens teeth springs to mind though. Did you find one Billyo?

about 15yrs ago these used to always be going through the auction and actually facnied getting one for a while but never got round to it. think it would be a good buy, as said above, if you can find a non-rusty one. let us know what its like if you find one,

Only worth getting if you intend to keep it for a while as once you start you'll find it hard to stop spending on it. A worthwhile purchase but finding a good one will be hard. Don't forget the Montego version as well. We have a member on the ZS forum who has a Turbo Maestro.

Ah the good old Monty turbo with the missing indicator lenses, this was either a sceney look or a Rover fault!

Anyone remember the Montego advert with the guy in the car park?
