id have one of these or a maestro turbo. but it would have to be pristine and totally totally standard. it may be my age now but i hate to see modified road cars.

Now that's one I like, but as said above, I'd prefer it as a road car. Still only 500 quid though.

that has been on ebay previously.

i agree i would rather it was as original as possible, but having had a few track toys in the past i do think it would be great to have a car of this type and era in full track spec, with all the right age related stickers.

a maestro would be better thyough i think, does anyone recall the original bill board posters for the maestro turbo?

it had a picture of a green maestro, with a tag line on it that read "the golf gti will be along in a second" as it was quicker 0-60, thats one in the eye for the germans.

I remember the Montego and Maestro turbo's, the people I new who had the Montego suffered wiring loom issues. Sad really as they were fast cars in their day. My dad had an A plate VP 1.6 Maestro, it was a similar set up to the MG 1.6 at the time... that was pretty quick too!

nearly bought a pristine mg meastro turbo about 8 years ago. it was perfect , it belonged to a women who didnt really know what she was selling.
i bidded £2000 for it on ebay but went for £2150, back then it seemed like a fortune but i wish i kinda bought it now.

if a mint red one came along again i think i could be tempted.
it would have to be totally unmolested.

Was'nt there something in adverts about the Maestro turbo being faster 0-60 than a Ferrari?

[MIGLIACARS]

6.8 0-60mph

[cradley-heathen]

they used to advertise that the ital was quicker than a porsche 0-50

All Montegos should be burned alive at the stake....

I worked at Horners Rover in Manchester for a while, years ago. They had a 7 day money back guarantee on all their second hand Rovers. Guess which one kept on getting returned ? Coincidentally a co-worker owned a 2.0 Turbo and loved it

He/she probably had very low standards!! Lol

All Rover cars beginning with Ma, Me & Mo should be destroyed at the first opportunity
