This Turbocharged Austin Maestro Van is a British Unicorn

Alex's modified Austin Maestro van is really something that could only happen in Britain. Bordering on unicorn status these days (even in England!), Austin Maestro vans used to be everywhere. Their sharp decline on UK roads has many contributing factors but without wanting to suggest theories as to why this is we will focus on the stark fact that just 4 examples are currently on British roads (700L petrol spec). This means that Alex must have one of the only modified Austin Maestro van's in existence, and for this we thank him.

The Austin Maestro is a five-door hatchback small family car (and two-door van derivative) that was produced from November 1982 to 1986 by British Leyland, and from 1986 until December 1994 by Rover Group, as a replacement for the Austin Maxi and Austin Allegro, with the van version replacing the corresponding van derivative of the Morris Ital. The car was produced at Morris' former Oxford plant, also known as Cowley, with 605,000 units sold. Today, the redeveloped factory builds the BMW Mini. An MG-branded performance version was sold as the MG Maestro from 1983 until 1991.

Although later models were sometimes referred to as the Rover Maestro, the model never wore the Rover badge. The Austin Montego saloon was a variant of the Maestro.
