Maestro Turbo on Copart

[Paul72]

looks complete, just in need of a lot of work, https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/26398557

Looks like a nice project. Anyone on here registered?

[BIGDAVE]

wow the bottom of the doors look pretty rough

[Paul72]

Yeah, I think your looking at four new doors

I don't like the part that states it's had "enhancement" It could be anything from a wash to a complete cover up of other issues?? Also not really sure of why it's in copart, it's not been subject to any insurance claim nor is the vendor an insurance company or one of their agents! It looks like a trade / dealer entry. I know it's late in the bidding but I would strongly suggest any prospective buyer go check it out first.

Copart sell all sorts - not just insurance write-offs. They do Category X (Stolen & Recovered) and 'U' - unrecorded, which is simply cars that have been scrapped or just for sale.

Ah, I thought they only sold vehicles on behalf of insurance companies etc..

Not always. From their website:

Copart sells vehicles for a variety of customers including finance companies, banks, dealers, fleets, rental car companies and the insurance industry. Copart also sells vehicles for franchised, independent and wholesale motor traders as well as the general public.

This Maestro Turbo is unrecorded so is not an insurance write-off.

I have given this car an hpi check and its all in the green with nothing flagging up. Its a genuine example of a maestro turbo in need of restoration. I was interested - but too many projects going on in my life I just have to let this one go. It could be a trader that wins this with the sole purpose of a quick flip on eBay. Just speculating of course - but if it goes at the price it is now then someone going to make over a grand in profit.

Does anyone know what it sold for? Cant see on there. Looks like it needs a lot of work!

[Paul72]

yeah, the bloke who brought it is on the MG Maestro Turbo page he paid £4500 including Fees for it

[G4GLM]

My first thought was - "Wow that seems like strong money" but then again it's the only one for sale at the moment! I am so pleased that these fabulous cars which are a massive part of our heritage are finally making the prices they deserve. I would think anyone valuing the copart car at £4500 must be valuing it at five figures when looking well again.

[Andy]

Wow, that is strong money for a rot box. Although it looks complete and un-molested. What's the MG maestro turbo page?
