Alex's Turbo'd Austin Maestro Van - An Englishman's Home Is His Van

  • 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.

    That looks the business! In my early 20s my dad had a Montego GTI that i used to drive everywhere, up & down the uk watching the BTCC etc. Happy days. ❤

    This is unreal. Last time I saw a Maestro van was at my old house where I had chickens living in it. And a nice touch too in keeping it A-series

    The van's sound and your enthusiasm took me back to 1980 when I replaced the muffler with a glasspak and added wider tires to a '74 VW Rabbit (Golf). It wasn't pretty, but couldn't look better to me. All my friends were Camaros and Mustangs with automatics. Nice for them, but never for me. They were happy with T-tops and power windows, but give me exhaust crackle and a clutch pedal.

    So unusual. Not seen one for years. Also never realised how much the grill and lights look like allegro items. Maybe they are. I like that its still got the a series too, rare on its own. Either way this is definitly different, i like it.

      Shame they never fitted the turbo diesel Perkins from the Montego from the factory, I had an ex Royal Navy montego td and at the time it was fairly nippy so would be good in a van.

    Great that this is still on the road, nice one.
    Personally I don't like the 'rat look' and it would be nice (in my opinion) to see it without rust and holes, but fair play just my own taste.
