Hi ya
I almost bought that car but got an ex AutoItalia Alfa 75 race car instead. That Maestro was a good buy!
Would post some pictures if i could figure out how!!

Like you Maestro buddy. Maybe we should start a thread for retro race cars?  |

Good to see it went to someone with plans to keep it going. I'm building a maestro rally car just now.
Keep the thread updated as you go along!

Still waiting for the V5 to arrive. If it arrives next week I will be taking the car to North Weald airfield (subject to passing MOT).

Had a letter from the DVLA. They will be finalising the V5 application on Friday, so I won't get the V5 until next week. Looks like a different car will have to be used for North Weald.

I'm going to try cleaning the plastic screen and see if it will pass with that. If not, I know someone with several windscreens.

Just an update to say that this project had to go on the back burner. I've been recommissioning a Maestro VdP that was laid up for 5 years. This is now my daily driver (apart from when I'm driving the GF's Mondeo). Next project will probably be an ex-AA Maestro van...
