maestro turbo

[gaz0_0]

Its a big ugly piece of british leyland rot box cr@p but I seriously love that car. I remember driving a standard one a few years back and it just felt like it had WAY too much power. The brakes were shocking(-ly bad), the suspension felt like it had given up and the whole thing was physically shaking itself to bits on boost but I just loved everything about it. Definately a restoration project.

yeah they didnt have the best brakes or suspension, but this one has been sorted by moto-build in these depeartments. physically shakes itself is true! you hit 60mph and the dash falls apart hit 100mph and the bonnet and wings start coming off! lol

I've just read every response on this thread with a grin on my face - what a car to pick!

It's like every bit of sense and reason is screaming "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BUYING THIS?!" and yet I'd guess 90% of us think you've done a great thing!.

Personally (money and time permitting) I'd freshen up the car from rust, major dings, dents etc and then strip it to make it a proper track biatch. Like, how many Tickford Maestro Turbos do you see, blatting around the UK circuits?

Great, unique choice there. Thumbs up!
