1986 Austin Maestro 1.3L finished in Targa Red with Light Grey/Brown Interior

For sale is my 1986 Austin Maestro 1.3 L finished in Targa Red with grey/light brown interior

I purchased this car in December 2019 for the Prostate Cancer Research - Maestro Madness Road Trip that we originally planned for the summer of 2020.

It previously been off the road (stored in a garage) since 2006 by the only owner of the car however, with a new battery and a fresh drop of petrol, started after a few turns.

It is an automatic choke model (from factory) but works fine and a aftermarket glass ‘pop up' sunroof which I believe was fitted when the car was new (it closes perfectly and doe not leak).

It has covered 69,888 miles, I have driven it about 800 miles between January 2020 and August 2021 and then covered 900 miles in a week on our road trip at the end of August 2021.

The car started every time without any hesitation and didn't have any mechanical issues.

What I have done to the car:

New Battery

A full service

Distributor Car, Rotor Arm & Plug Leads

Water Pump and coolant

Alternator Belt

Track Rod Ends

Brake Discs & Pads

New Master Cylinder and Wheel Cylinders

Rear Brake Hoses

Rear Exhaust Section

Carburettor Service (inc. Needle)

Oil Pressure Switch

Fitted refurbished ‘Cheesegrater' Alloy Wheels, including a brand new spare wheel to match - I also have the original 13” Steel Wheels including the 4 x original centre caps

4 x New Goodyear Tyres (175/65/14)

Wheel Alignment carried out after new tyres fitted

New Wiper Blades

Replaced both rear wheel arches

Repaired the tailgate and repainted

Replaced the headlining

Replaced the Radio/Cassette for an original Philips unit

Replace some cracked interior trim

The MOT expires 8 th September 2022

What's left to do

There are a few bits of bodywork that the next owner will properly want to get done so this car is perfect. The bottom of the drivers door is rusty and there is a little rust in the O/S/F wheel arch (surface) and a couple of other small areas.

I have a fair amount of history with the car, old MOTs, some old bills, all of the receipts/invoices for the work I have carried out, some Tax Discs and a complete book pack including the original service book.

The interior of this car is excellent condition. The dash is not cracked and the seats/carpet are very clean with no rips or tears. It also has a set of carpet mats with red trim to match the body colour.

The car also comes with a tailored ‘Stormshield+ Outdoor Car Cover' which was made by the factory especially for this car (cost £300). It's made from a hard wearing material ideal for long-term outdoor protection, Storm Shield+ is a tri-laminate fabric with a breathable membrane which allows condensation to evaporate away from the surface of the car, preventing the paintwork from damage.

I will include it if the price is right or I can sell it separately through the Maestro & Montego Owners Club.

I also have various spare parts which I will be including in the sale (trim parts etc.)

If you have any questions, would like any more photographs or you would like to view the car, please feel free to contact me on 07799 413638 or

I am located in Tonbridge, Kent.

Cash or Bank Transfer only.
