Replacing the outgoing Ambassador model, the Maestro debuted as Austin Rover Group's new medium sized hatchback in 1983, but unlike its predecessor used steel springs rather than the Hydragas suspension system and mounted its gearbox at the end of the crankshaft instead of beneath it.

Engine options ranged from the venerable 1.3-litre A-Series to more modern 1.6- and 2.0-litre overhead-camshaft units, while the VW Golf gearbox was an example of cross-manufacturer technology sharing.

Offered here is an example of the Maestro-based light van.

First registered to Patrick Motors Ltd as '280 PMG', this vehicle was used to deliver parts to Austin dealerships and was liveried to match the Patrick Motors branding at that time.

It has been driven once or twice in recent years and will require recommissioning before returning to the road.

Offered with old/current V5C documents and an expired MoT (2018).
