What Cars

[TLC]

What British cars (pre montego/maestro ) would you drive.

[Guest]

I've had a brown Austin Maxi until the front wheel fell off and a yellow Metro 1.3S, both were good cars - Maxi nice and roomy and Metro crisp and fun.

[TLC]

Wasnt the maxi similar to the austin 1800 we had one.

[Guest]

I've had a Marina 1300, Maxi 1750, Dolomite 1500, Triumph 1300 FWD and also had access to Mk2 Cortinas and a few other bits and bobs British.

Forgot had a 77 MGB GT too

I have had a Metro 1.0L, Austin Allegro 1.3L, Triumph TR7 Auto FHC and currently have a TR7V8 DHC. Always been around British cars, mainly BL, marina's and Ital's.
Yes i am sane in mind......... i think!

I have (in theory the missus) a 1980 Mini 850 that was in daily use until I decided to "tweek" the carb, now the bloomin thing won't start.

[Miracle maestro]

My grandfather bought our Maestro when it was just a year old, interestingly he traded in a two-year-old Rover SD1 2000.
He was 76 at the time, and with decreasing mobility was finding the SD1 too low to get in and out of, it was also too cramped, the higher and more spacious maestro was much better for him.
