Hi, I inherited my dad's Maestro (which my parents called Richard) in 2008. I picked it up after it had been standing outside my parents' house for 9 months and it started instantly so I drove it around and it grew on me very quickly! Brilliant on fuel, easy to drive, and built in the days when the world made sense. Plus it was my dad's car.....I used to run him to the hospital for treatment in it. I had all the bodywork fettled and sprayed at M.A.P.S. in Cirencester and used it constantly until 2014 when it suffered another head gasket failure (the garage where my dad had it serviced every year had never changed the coolant, and I suspect that the block face might have some erosion because a new head gasket etc lasts about a year/15,000 miles). It had been standing outside, uncovered for a few years before I organised covers for it but the bodywork and paint is in need of serious fettling. I'd really be happy for a skilled Maestro enthusiast to have a go at sorting it for me.......Jon at M.A.P.S. did a good job but I think he may have gone rather pricey/upmarket! I'm in Sutton Coldfield but am willing to transport Richard the Maestro anywhere to get things properly sorted....
All the best
