I actually saw one of those the other day.On the road. Moving, and everything.
I was slightly amazed. It makes me wonder - slightly - whether there're any functional Maestros (Maestri?) or Montegos still around.

My parents went through a phase of buying Montegos when I was a child.All second-hand, all in various shades of blue, all estates, and all like driving a grumpy brick. And they all fell apart after a few short years. One in particular seemed to hate me (as much as an inanimate object can): it broke down twice and burst one tyre, all on times when I needed to be somewhere for something very important. I hated that car. It was a git.
But still, they were all better than the vomit-coloured Marina they had when I was really young.

Anorak mode on!There's 12 Austin Allegros still on the road and 17 Maestros.
Base models only - I'm not including the 1.6 Auto etc. in the numbers.

There's one in DundeeAn Allegro, that is. And this makes me feel really old - I learned to drive in a Maestro!
