I just realised that I've not posted anything in here about what is one of my most often used Maestro/Montegos these days. Some old pictures here from a trip to Barcelona (via dieppe and Andorra)

Little Red van, most cost effective way to transport 1/2 ton known to man!

Little red van seems convinced it is a coal lorry..... In this case it was taking Coals to Newcastle, from what is now the only mine in the North of England. Just in case anyone is wondering, it is a right royal pain getting coal into those daft little bags & it was only done for ease of handling at the other end of the trip..

Yes, every so often I come across this https://www.classicandsportscar.com/...livery-maestro and wonder how much ford must have spent on 'incentives'...the mk3 escort diesel was a gutless little pram.. I once put a timing belt on one...first time I drove it was after I'd done the belt...it performed so badly that I was convinced it must be a tooth out & rechecked everything I'd done. Eventually the owner came & took it around the block and said it was going better than it did before! His previous van had been a Maestro diesel which he said had been far better than the escort, until it went down with tinworm. If he still had the escort, I'd hvé been tempted to do some back to back comparisons with the Maestro, I think they had done a similar number of miles.
