Depends what you mean by interesting.

For the past couple of years I've been dailying a '88 Maestro, info on that here: forum.retro-rides.org/thread/171230/lanchester-ld10-austin-princess-maestro?page=285&scrollTo=2798156

Currently getting over flu which is holding me up on doing the service and the last few niggles I want to resolve before doing the proper advert with new photos.

I'm owner number three and the car is very much a survivor. It's approaching 183,000 miles and still on the original unleaded friendly A+ 1.3 and four speed manual gearbox. I've been runnning it exclusively on E5 fuel during my ownership, just in case. Just gone through a fresh MoT so you've got plenty of time to do any of the work it might require before the next one. Obviously it's not perfect and I've been keeping on top of the rust with big jobs like the rear arches already sorted. Surprisingly it gets a lot of positive attention when I'm out and about in it.

All the repairs and MoT fail items it's had in my ownership are well documented with videos and photos so the new owner knows exactly what they're getting into. I'm only asking £950 for it.

One mans not a lot is another mans fortune - And "interesting" seldom meets the requirements of not a lot.



I find that a scatter gun approach seldom nets anything worthwhile - better to make the decision on what you want with a defined budget and then focus on that.


These always strike me as decent enough value for money - a modern classic and all that. Celica - Often available in better condition and for less money when fully focusing. May find a nice one for little more than a bag - add a nice set of wheels job done.





Anything Tax and MOT free you just add ££'s and its probably project in hiding.
