Welcome to the Maestro and Montego Owners Club. Why not post in the Welcome & Feedback forum and introduce yourself?
Last pic - I can only add 5 per post. Bizarrely the DVLA have it as a December 88 registration - either a typo or it should be on an F plate.

They were two years ago, remember! If it's been used daily and not looked after very well 2 years is a long time.

Possibly used abroad (Channel Islands or Isle of Man) for first few months of its life then given an age-related plate when it was registered by the DVLA for the first time.
My Mini 1275 GT is a 1980 car, but was registered here in 1984 on a 1980/81 'W' plate: its first owner was in the Forces, and it was originally running round on Forces plates (I sent my fiver to DVLA and got its history printed off )

In fact, today has been a good day for spotting classics around Coventry: must be this fantastic weather we've had for the last couple of days in Central England!

Tickford #423 Green H430 YKH spotted on Newfoundland Way today at 5:30am on my way home.
saw this today by fowlers bike shop followed it to the next set of traffic lights hopeing to flag him down to have a chat but it disapperd into the traffic
Off to look more closely at the VP estate at the weekend. He gave me an idea of what he's after for it (with 3 months t&t remaining), and without giving away the price all I shall say is that I could buy two things worth £100 each for the same as what he wants for the Monty!
You'd better be bloody quick then - otherwise I might have to annoy the neighbours!

saw a austin maestro vp in white on the M1 between jnc 14 and 15 heading north about 17:15 this evening. Was a D plate in white with the flat faced alloy wheels. little bit of rust about but a nice car.
I was happy to see something other than boring cloned german saloons.
