1985 10,200 miles , only Maestro Vanden Plas 1.6 manual For Sale

Here is a very rare car . Its remarkable how few are now left, probably just double figures, maybe less.
, especially the Vanden Plas series 1 cars , as this is, with the retro 1980's digital talking dash, which is still operational. The engine and gearbox are sweet, as is the auto choke, all working well , she was in storage all winter, fired up very quickly and mechanically in great shape.
This Vanden Plas, is finished in Zircon blue metallic and was offered for a short time by Austin Rover, with the series 1 dash and Grey box pleat velvet interior, which this one has. I have the Austin Rover Brochure showing this colour combination , as I say only offered for a short time before the Montego style dash was offered.
I bought this car last year, to join my collection of 1980'S BL nostalgia, it needs some work to bring it up to show standard, but by no means is the usual distressed example. A second car has appeared , and I cant keep two.
10, 200 miles only , which probably makes the car unique I would think. She has had the passenger door broken into at sometime and this needs rectification, but I have a new door lock for her. Headlining , ofcourse, needs attention and some paintwork is needed to the roof rails. This will make a show car with some work and detailing, and would be very welcome on the Vanden Plas club circuit as well as the growing Maestro club and enthusiast events.

The Austin Seven was a hugely important car, not least because it simultaneously saved its maker from collapse while mobilising an entire nation and then soon after, large parts of the world too. The car stands as a milestone in automotive history as a result, setting the stage for decades of British car manufacturing ...
