I've got a mate with a B reg MG Measto 2.0efi and its been sitting in his lock for a while with an intermitant running fault. Now the thing is he offered me it the other day for pretty cheap money I think but I can't find many for sale to get a rough value. Are the MK1 MG Meastro's really that rare now? its this one

Yes, they are pretty rare now. If it's in good condition, buy it. If it's in poor condition, but it anyway...either way, BUY IT!
Looks rather nice in that shade of blue BTW. I have a lot of love for the early MG Maestros. Those wheels.... ;D

oh its a good one, I MOT'd it about 5 months ago for him, its never even been welded I might have to see if I can give a deposit then pay him next month, I've been without a retro for tooooo long and now I'm starting to develop a twitch every time I sense 80's steel

Why are you still here? If it's cheap you should be currently beating the guys door down trying to force the deposit on him. Failure to do so will result in me buying it instead. Then you'll be sorry.
IfWhen you do get it, before doing anything else, buy up all of the stock of waxoyl in Essex and literally bathe the underside, inside the doors....everywhere possible in the stuff.
Now, get out there and get it bought. ASAP.
I'm waiting.....

I had a white one like that about 10 years ago. Got it for £80 coz the ends were knocking slightly. thrashed the hell out of it trying to blow the engine up for about a month before the gearbox let go lol

If its never been welded BUY IT!!!!! They are quick, handle well once sorted, and rust like crazy usualy. Rust would be the only reason id say walk away, but if this is good in that respect, buy it. I had one, and if it wernt for the crispies starting to appear from everywhere id still have it. It did also have running issues that I never quite sorted out, but if its all good buy it.
In short, buy it!!!!!!
