1999 Austin Maestro 1.3L - Just like your Dad had. For Sale

Presented for sale by Trinity car Solutions is this delightful Ledbury Austin Rover Maestro 1. 3L finished in Flame Red with contrasting cloth interior.

The Maestro was launched in March 1983, and in its summing up of the new car the Consumers' Association, in the June edition of the "Which" magazine described it as roomy, comfortable, and nice to drive, and said "If you are considering buying one now, our advice, based on our first impressions, is to go ahead". In January 1984, after testing the car, they concluded: "In comparison with opposition of a similar price and body size, the Maestro has a clear advantage on room for passengers, with few cars equalling it for comfort either in the front or back". They also considered it to be a serious rival to the higher-segment Vauxhall Cavalier and Ford Sierra, apart from its smaller boot space.

Production ran until the end of 1994as demand dwindled and production from Cowley ceased.

In 1997, Parkway Services of Ledbury, Herefordshire, purchased a batch of 621 Maestro cars and vans in CKD kit form. These had been stored at Cowley, Oxfordshire, since their production in mid 1996, when they became surplus to requirements. The company built up the cars and converted the majority of them to RHD form using up Rover's supply of parts. The National Database for Motoring Insurance has records of models registered between "R" and "51" number plates, meaning the overall period of Maestro availability, new in the United Kingdom, was from 1983 to 2001.

Our Ledbury Maestro is in great condition, having covered 64k from new. This car has been the pride and joy of an Austin Rover enthusiast and looks very nice on its aftermarket 16 inch MGTF alloys.

Mechanically excellent, with new suspension and brakes, stainless exhaust, the series A engine running as sweet as a nut, with only the usual slight oil leak, a common issue with this engine.

The car is in very good condition, the interior trim is complete with a minor crack to the dashboard, couple of age related marks and small blistering blemishes, but the wax oilyl protection has certainly kept this lovely example looking the part.

This is a smashing little car, cheap to run with plenty of smiles per pound, a great car for the collector of Austin Rover, and an easily maintained classic for someone who wants to stand out from tne norm at the local car show.
