This is John S’ 1985 Austin Maestro 1.3L. It is in original condition, rust free having been garaged by it’s previous owner and the interior is immaculate and has only 25,000 miles on the clock! Yes this is real as John has validated it!!
The Austin Maestro is a small family car which was produced at the Cowley factory in Oxford from November 1982 to December 1994. It was introduced by British Leyland (BL) under theAustin marque, with the Rover Group (BL’s successor from 1986 onwards) selling it simply as the Maestro starting from 1988. An MG-branded performance version was sold as the MG Maestro from 1983 until 1991.
Over its life span there was very little change to its basic design and 605,000 units were sold in total. The Maestro replaced the Austin Maxi and Allegro. Although later year models were sometimes informally referred to as the Rover Maestro, the car never wore the Rover badge. The Austin Montego saloon was also a variant of the Maestro. After production in the UK ended, complete knock-down kits were assembled in Varna, Bulgaria from 1995 to 1996 under the Rodacar joint venture and various derivatives were also made in China from 1997 to 2017.
