MG Maestro on Ebay

They looked like that a few weeks after they were made!:D
|
The post 88 ones were worse, something to do with a change of steel.
I have an 87 one which is off the road at present but certainly not rotten |
MG Maestro on ebay
I have a 1989 one and it is not rotten.
You can find poor condition examples if all older fars |
I had a very late 92 one which was scrapped in 98 due to excessive corrosion

Yep that's how I remember the Montego and Maestro. The baby of the family wasn't much better. The amount of welding I did on a couple of those on inner and outer sills after what was only a few years is ridiculous. |
They were only as bad as Ford 86 onwards escorts were absolutely abysmal for rust especially front crossmember
|
i had one in the 80s efi model they were quite quick if i remember but went rusty quite quick rds mark
|
Late 90's Mercedes cars were even worse and their Sprinter van's appear to rust almost from new!

It’s not a competition on who sold the rusty old sheds as Austin Rover would win it apart from Fiat in the UK. Total rust boxes I worked at Austin Rover and at the test track at Gaydon I know what extent the engineers did to try rid the brand of the reputation. The new Rover 200 series and 400 series were a thousand times better.
An Escort from the 1970s is worth a lot more than a Allegro etc.:smilie_re: |
