For Sale
1987 Austin Maestro 1.6L - Burgundy; located in Newcastle Upon Tyne
Mileage 173,546
Tax expires 31st May 2011
MOT Expires 31st May 2011
Good Points:
• Everything works as it should, everything is present as it was when it came out the factory, no naff aftermarket replacements, car could be driven away (subject to assessment of tyres as described below).
• All historic repairs have been carried out using correct Rover / Unipart parts.
• Comprehensive set of paper work containing most of the cars history under my ownership.
• Car is known to the club.
• I have owned the car since 1990 and am the second owner.
Bad Points:
• Rust: every panel is rusty, one of the rear arches has a hole. However rear arch / sill joins have been welded on both sides.
• Heavy oil leak from head gasket at rear of engine (I was topping up every 200 miles).
• Crack in windscreen (see photo)
• Front tyres are on legal limit, spare has puncture. Rear tyres are fine. All tyres are Michelins.
• Occasional blue smoke from exhaust at idle
• Temperature gauge occasionally drops down during driving causing auto choke to cut in. I usually disconnect / reconnect the ECU to fix this problem.
• Car has been parked up in my garage for a few months and one wheel has started to become stiff to rotate when driving out of the garage.
• Handbrake needs adjusting up as it needs pulling right up to grip.
This car has come to the end of its useful life for my purposes, but may be of interest to an enthusiast. Asking Price £100.

I know, it was pretty poor of me, but if the worst comes to the worst, hey at least I threw my vulture's cap in first.
