Must admit i was not expecting to see a Maestro on a Volvo forum!! I still have my Maestro Turbo, running the original 8 valve turbo engine, the last time i ran it at Pod it did a 13.7 @ 103mph so it wasnt exactly slow, does make me laugh when i see people mention about chronic torque steer, usually people that have never driven a proper sorted one that isnt on 20 year old suspension
Do keep this updated, i love Maestro's and i love the T5 engine, much better than the usual T16 turbo conversions which have been done to death over the years. |

Hi there,
I remember this project years ago. Does anybody have any information? Did it progress? I see it's only going Stoke, Someone must know the guy? Hopefully it was progressed.

Had a quick Google...
appears he gave it away, so wonder who and where it is now, or did the project bite the dust?

You'll not see it. Left it looking 'Grandad' stock. Drives it wearing beige tweed and a Homburg.
Look for the National Trust sticker, Saga coach Tours brochure, Disabled sticker, roofrack and towbar. That'll be him.
