WHAT - a bronze Maestro! How obscene - my late father's one which we inherited (no - I mean disposed of: even my son wouldn't have it for free) was dark blue. Never saw a bronze one - and luckily won't now!

Many moons ago i was reading one of those car buying price guide books - a bit similar to Parkers but i don't think it was Parkers.
Anyhow they listed the Pros, Cons and Sum-Up of different cars. From memory this is what they put for the Maestro : Pros : Austin for the 80s & 90s Cons : the 70s age group will like it too. Can't remember the Sum-Up but it was equally scathing!

Jon - how about Abbey Volvo, in Lesbourne Road? At least, it was in 1985 when I bought my Amazon estate from them there.
Since then Mr Abbey died and the firm moved to the Holmthorpe Industrial Estate in Redhill, and is now I believe a Citroen agent (something French anyway). Did you know a Barry Simmons there - a retired friend who I think worked there: he certainly was a Volvo engineer around that time. P |
