you can see from my username, am Cosworth owner and great fan currently own 1991 Sierra Cosworth 4x4 for the last 7 years.

also have this..i know there going to be lots of people hate this type of car, build quality, head gaskets,RUST!!

After restoring it for last few years, and building fully forged engine for it from Rover 220 turbo now at 367 bhp, its certainly no slow maestro.


















Don't go too hard on me

my escort cosworth that i owned in 2009 miss it very much

 

A couple of very cool cars there mate, i've got a soft spot for the maestro too!!!

 

Very cool. My 220 turbo "tomcat" even with anti torque steer bushes used to be a hand full of torque steer fun....what is your maestro like. Is motobuild still going? They used to do lots with these.

Thanks for sharing....

 

I really like that nice car and very retro

 

Thanks.. only 505 ever made very rear now only 19 still taxed on UK roads according to howmanyleft.co.uk.
You have to drive it with 2 hands on steering wheel at all times has on full boost 21 psi it pulls all over the road (torque steer) also fitted set ap 4 pot calipers from MGTF to bring it to a stop.

Bloddy hell, that's got some nuts in it!

 

That Maestro is simply brilliant

 

These and the MG metro were really underated .


Back in 1999 I had a 1.3 MG metro that used to blow away Xr2's all day long . Kicked the crap out of it for over a year and it didn't break once

 

The styling on the Maestro is such a disaster that I love it! Bet it shifts too. Not seen one in white for ages, usually green iirc

 

Very unusual car, you must have as much fun humbling modern " supercars " in that as you do in your cossy!!

 

to be honest my Cosworth is running standard, and wouldn't have a chance against it, MG would leave it for dead but if i would to spend same amount on my cosworth has i have done restoring the MG, the cosworth would be better car no contest

Most of them are green or red, only 4 or 5 at a push that i know that are white and on still on the road.

 

Very cool. Had a couple of Montego Turbos - they went alright

 

Very nice fond memories of mine had a black one back in the day felt dangerous at speed part of the buzz lol

 

Love it

 

Your Maestro is so cool!

 

Very retro indeed.
Like it

 

Nice maestrot lol. Nice to see other cars been restored.

 

Cool car

 

Love it

 

Very retro cool!

 

Very cool retro car love it

 

now that brings me back to my younger days



proper retro

 

Fair play nice motor.


Cool as beans with a stance.

 

I loved my MG metro too and it humbled many cars that's stats said it should not, I used to bait xr3is through the twisted all the time...huge fun.

 

very cool, proper quick with that sort of power!
i own a few cars, amongst them is these 2

1990 e30, 318is, 84k from new, low owners, some nice factory fitted options too.


&

a 1972 MGBGT, 53k from new , previously been restored but ideally needs a repaint to make mint again.

Sorry about the shite phone pics

 

Was only thinking about them yesterday , I would love a red one
Top work

 

Thanks for kind comments, there isn't many cranks about like me who would restore a mg maestro turbo

I seen this blue maestro before was it in retro cars mag not so long ago?

 

Nice mate.

 

very nice

 

Thats really really nice , and even the shape is starting look pretty cool .

 

Apart from my fords i'm a Land Rover boy too

 

Love an MG Maestro Turbo! My uncle had a couple of them back in the day and remember how quick they were, although they had the boost turned up and tended to go through a headgasket more than once I seem to remember!

You've got a lovely example there, bet it goes likema rocket! Although I'd prefer it on the standard wheels.

Can't believe there's only a handful left? Surely a fair few must be laid up.

 

Loving the MG Maestro pics

 

nice except the number plate which ruins it

 

Very nice


Moto Build not running anymore, used to be round the corner from me.

 

I've got a soft spot for MGs
