There can't be many Maestro vans left nowadays
Most will be terminally corroded, or had the (Perkins) Prima diesel taken out to go in a Land Rover 'Series'

My father owned both a Ford Consul like that one (two-tone black & grey), and later - his first new car - a Maxi 1750 (which rusted away in his possession).

There was another Cadillac (El Dorado?) that also had horns on, but those pointed outwards..........
(hopefully removeable for road use)

It is
I didn't write that the one pictured was a HC
Unfortunately though, there may have been the implication?

When I was kid, my father had a FIAT 128, between a Viva (HC) estate and a (mk1) Cavalier 2-door)

Nice car, perfect 3 box design like so many Fiat's, 124, 131 etc. The 128 3P was a stunner though.

I had a maestro diesel van and it was a superb vehicle in all fairness.

Didn't get a photo of the actual vehicle as I was on my motorbike, but had a Citroen Traction Avant following me earlier today; one just like this.

One of the coolest cars ever; which reminds me, I must re-watch the film "diva"

Oh Lord Jesus - This car ALWAYS brings a smile to my face....

Ya see - Every time I see one, the film-phrase, "Telephone Monsiuer, Telephone" ALWAYS springs to mind

Here's "Why"

Rhienmetall-Borsig MG.42 & this Citroen, go together like 'peaches & cream' - See below.....

How about a Rolls Royce Meteor engine, new unused in a crate? The Meteor is a lower power version of the famous Merlin of the Spitfire and Lancaster. It was mainly used in tanks. No doubt you'd always regret not buying the proper supercharged Merlin version though

When I was a kid, one of the neighbours had a Wartburg, but his was a saloon, in a rather dark brown
