Well I am feeling very guilty as I have have talked a good friend of mine into buying a 1990 1.3 5 speed Maestro as it was too good an opportunity to miss as the body is pretty solid and its only done 30,000 miles. Apart from a few dings and bruises all it needed was a new exhaust a good service and a track rod end for MOT.
All in all if he didn't buy it I probably would have as I used to have use of a Turbo Technik tuned Montego which was fabulous back in the mid 80's and used to take us everywhere.
In fact I am starting to feel the loss LOL!!! so for all you lucky owners out there I just wanted to say hello.
Its been quite a while since I have worked on A series engines let alone Maestro's so I am looking forward to catching up and learning a little more and one of the first jobs I promised my friend to look into is upgrading the Dizzy and coil to an electronic version. This one is fitted with a Lucas - electronic - 65DM4 and I am not sure what the piftalls are? but having read one thread on here it did seem there was a lot to take on board so any pointers would be most welcome. Oh and if are wonderin why its me on here and not him. He hates computers!! and as I said I am the guilty one!!!
