Maestro rally car rebuild

[Guest]

Never ending isnt it mate. I miss the sound of the 40's Need to buy another maestro to put the 1600 in

Yes you do

I rally an MG Maestro 1600. The 'rorty 40s' are absolute magic -what a fantastic noise! It sounds like a MkII Escort rally car -a real snarl (goes well, too).
When we are all driving electric cars in the future we will remember the days when cars sounded throaty.

Looks great! Good luck with getting her running.

Looking all dressed up and ready to tear the tarmac up.

Whats the hold up with the engine then Ross?

[g200mss #146]

The car is away at my boss' workshop where we are doing the wiring but hes a very busy guy so it will just be done when its done.

There really isnt any rush as I have missed too many events this year to bother going for points. So the plan is to spend the rest of the year testing and and maybe get one rally in at the end of the year so its ready for the 2016 season. This will let me save up too which is ideal as its going to get expensive again when I get back into rallying properly.

Superb. The fastest non-turbo Maestro (and the fastest competing Maestro) in the world, I believe!

[g200mss #146]

John, I never thought about it that way, I suppose it must be. Well when its running that is.

My dad's jelous now it's faster than his turbo!

[mr.maestro]

hoping to get mine re-built this year. looking at new cage, straight cut 'box plus the 620ti motor i've got lined up for it! then we'll have to do an event together!

[g200mss #146]

I remember you said you have a lot on your plate with other cars so Im glad to hear your managing to get the rally car back out!

How do you find yours for driveability with the turbo and FWD?

Well up for an event with both the cars!

Hi Ross

Wow that looks fantastic a credit to you mate i wish my maestro racer looked like that, I'm definitely keeping mine now i have sold the spaceframe mini to free up some space and cash for the maestro restoration which i hope to start some. I will post some pictures up on here soon.

Thanks Craig. I'm sure in time yours will be looking spot on. Good to hear your keeping the maestro and I'm glad your happy with the arches!
