D reg DIESEL maestro, great body! £200, Shrewsbury.

I also need three of those, in brown, if you've got any more!

P.S. Lostinthepast, your Maestro is delightful! Always good to see more beige cars here!

Thanks for the comment Richard. The log book says it's gold, though. (It's a funny old world, isn't it?)
Since purchasing this car I have replaced the tailgate struts, changed the oil and filter, rotor arm and distributor cap, and have temporarily glued, in places, the sagging headlining. The only thing I don't like about this car is a clunk I hear when letting out the clutch while driving off. It's as if there is some free play somewhere... The mileage is 10,700 miles.

Eh this might sound like a silly question but what happened to the first Maestro in this thread? The one with the perkins engine. Did it get saved or crushed in the end? Cause the pictures show 2 different Maestros far as i can see.

The original maestro is sat on my drive awaiting some time and effort.

Body wise it's really tidy but mechanically it's got its share of issues.

Fuel lift pump is knackered, exhaust is split, bodged wiring under the bonnet, smokes a fair bit on start up and smells like it's either got cooking oil or bio derv in it.

When I'm back from my holiday I will get it whipped into shape and mot it. Plus sort the logbook as it's still down as a petrol.

The silver diesel now has a new mot and a small list of jobs from its first drive out.

Rev counter inoperative, coolant temp inoperative, timing belt too tight and whistles, oil and filter change, 1x seat belt still to change, refit horn and then a Damn good clean.

Then it's into storage as a spare car for backup to the current work commuter.
