Another Maestro Turbo owner

[Sussex Pete]

Hi! Just thought I'd introduce myself, as I have just made a fairly rash decision and bought a 1989 Maestro Turbo in BRG from Fleabay and without seeing it first!

The car will be stabled in East Sussex and will more than likely not see the light of day for another 12 months, as it will need engine out and attention to the crank before it turns a wheel in anger.

Once I get going though, you'll probably find me a frequent visitor to the forums to both seek and supply information. Hopefully you are all a friendly and helpful lot!

Welcome Pete, you have done the right thing by joining here & you will find we ARE a friendly & helpful bunch with a wealth of information.

Based in Brighton

Hi, me and my MG Maestro 2.0i in BRG are based in Brighton. Not too far away I assume. Mine will be back on the road 1st April.

Norman got any photos of the Maestro and 6 together yet? The orange and green will look fab! I hope to take some shots the beginning of April.

mg6 brg together

Hi Jez, I haven't got any pics yet [not together anyway] are you going to p.o.l ?

[Jez]

Thats not a proper MG !

Just put this photo, on the MG6 forum. Done in a hurry, so the cars are pretty dirty. Will try to do better when the Maestro is taxed next month.

I'm about 20 miles inland from you in Uckfield, so its good to know that there are other like minded fools (sorry! fanatics!) in the near vicinity.

PM me your address, as I get down to Hove and Brighton fairly regularly. Maybe we can get together some time...

If you need it there is loads of help and resource from this forum.

I live in Hayward's Heath and Maestro Turbo 345 (BRG like yours) is stored in Horsham so not far from you.

Good luck with rebuild, good to see another one on the forum.

Hi Steve, Yes it is. Apparently it has passed through Leeroy's hands as well, so I've had a heads up as to how bad it probably is
