I'm warming to young Mathewson's gentle presentation style No one has ever "hard sold" me anything, quite the opposite.

Re: Classic for under £10K
I know what you mean Neil, gentle info on a 'take it or leave it, I don't mind' basis. Very refreshing in the motor trade. If I found myself browsing round a forecourt (remember when we could!) to pass an hour while SWMBO was buying a pair of shoes and the 'closer' approached it was my signal to leave!!

Robyn's first car was a 206... It was OK but not quite as good as its predecessor, the 205... Things looked up a little when the 207 came along... I had a 207 and quite liked it but again, it was no 205...
Same as I find with the Saxo and AX...

Re: Classic for under £10K
Result Well bought at that price I'd say... An a great way into Pug GTi ownership... You'd never get such a nice 1.9 205GTi or Gentry for that sort of money...
Surprised the Maestro went for such a small amount There's quite a following for them now and I guess they are not yet at their peak of desirability. I'm sure the value of good ones will only grow...
I have a sneaking liking for them...

The Maestro has a Hereford registration number.

Re: Classic for under £10K
As well as the facelifted LHD Austin (not Rover) Montego Turbodiesel we also had an 1.6 MG Maestro. This was quite a short run vehicle as it had the earlier R-series engine, soon superseded by the S-series engine. This Maestro had an interesting genesis as it started off as a LHD car and was converted to RHD.
The chap who did the conversion attempted to pull a flanker when registering it in the UK by trying to get it registered with a year newer registration than it deserved. The authorities then slapped it with a 'Q' registration as a result which depressed its value and made insurance more expensive. Luckily insurance was provided by my employers so didn't directly affect me.
When we bought the Maestro it also came with all bits removed from the LHD car. They're still in our loft and I must do something about them some day!

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
