Well due to the recent aquisition of several other cars the old Maestro has been made redundant. I'd like it to go to someone who will look after and cherish it as I have, rather than it go to some moron through the local paper who will run it into the ground then scrap it when the MOT expires, so I thought I'd offer it here first.
Good points:
37,000 miles from new.
One previous elderly owner.
Tax December 2011, MOT until June 2012 (Edited due to my mistake)
Beige/brown colour scheme
Very reliable, has completed several trips to Norfolk.
Original LW/MW radio, dealer sticker, plates and tax disc holder.
Recent set of new tyres
Manual choke conversion
New towbar
Very tidy bodywork, very good interior, has been garaged for most of its life.
Rare 1.3 Base model.
Bad points:
New headlining fitted a few months ago, sadly it's started sagging again, it's not that bad and at least it isn't ripped.
Front wheelarches have some rust along the lip, also a very small amount of rust on the rear arches but it's nowhere near as bad as most. I cleaned all the mud out and they haven't got any worse since I've had it.
There is a small coolant leak from the engine, I think it's the water pump. It only started doing it a couple of weeks ago and doesn't seem to lose much.
Clutch is a bit fierce but it's not slipping and you get used to it.
I never got round to repainting the wheels, so they still need doing.
£375 ono, car is located near Southend in Essex. I have the original handbook pack and a Haynes manual somewhere.
