    Don`t know if anyone keeps count of the number of maestro turbos left that are actually taxed and mot`d but another 1 is now,after last being on the road in 2002 No 323 is legal again, Far from restored but legal

      This maestro turbo can still be seen on ebay...

      I like the fact its only done 10,000 miles on new 20thou oversize pistons and it only went for £621 - absolute bargain! Great its back on the road.

            Excelent - how is she running and handling? What's your overall plans for the car? Keep us all updated with your progress if you plan to restore her. It's nice to know your acutely out enjoying your car -good stuff. I also have an brg maestro turbo - but unfortunately she's in deep storage at the moment - for the last 9 years!

                    I have no plans. It was for sale and I got messed about no end by ebay idiots to the point where I thought I will MOT it myself and see what happens,It neede next to nothing for the MOT bar 3 welding patches on the sills and a few odds and sods . It needs tracking and realasticly a petrol tank as its been dropped on the jack and has a huge dint in it, anything than less than a quarter of a tank and there`s fuel delivery issues. If it makes you feel any better this has been off the road for nearly 10 years

                          Is this the one I came to see in Buckley and took a load of pics to put up on the forum here? I didn't think it needed a lot for the MOT
