Barn Find Hot Hatch Hidden since 1990s! First start in 30 years!
In 1995 this low mileage '80s hot hatch icon was tucked away in the garage along with a 1970s bike, not to see the light of day again until today, when we set them free and for the first time in 3 decades the MG burst into life!

The interior of my 1990 Eunos Roadster (Mazda MX5 / Miata) is a really nice place to be, but 34 years hasn't been kind to the Nardi wood rim steering wheel and hand brake, so they need refurbishing, the metal gear knob HAS to go, so Ive had a custom one made just for this car by Built by Basil, and I need a place to put and keep the phone.

how much is this then ?
What an amazing example and a real hidden away car. Good service and that will be on the road again.
What a time capsule! Love these kind of videos with the history of the owner and the car. Beautiful car and bike. Hope the car get's a owner that appreciate and preserves it.
Lovely car! I’d love it!
ULEZ is a complete cash grab anyone who lets say is missing the ability to critically think or do any research Khan had a university in london do the research their first draft with no lies said ULEZ would make a negligable difference meaning it was completely pointless then he paid them eight hundred thousand pounds to change their wording as it didn't support his BS this is proven facts when the air calculators did not show that it was bad due to it not being so the sensors where moved and he closed many minor roads in london to cause congestion and fudge the numbers everyone who has done any research knows this but we still let them get away with this curruption because as a country we have become so spineless we let them take everything from us with lies is that not great huh?
Excellent video Matt 👏👏👏
Thanks! 👍
This could be my next potential restoration project, where can I get in touch please?
drop me an email to the address in the text
A brilliant episode Jonny Smith sorry Matt 😂😂 the MG was always under rated but I would have of these over a Escort or a Astra nowadays.
Would love to see a part 2 and see this running.
The mid sixties, Barely a decade after the Second World War ?
What a fantastic car! And such a cool throwback to the 80’s and 90’s with all the cool stuff in the garage 👌🏻 That had to be a great visit. Also, for me, this is one of your best videos!
Dragging a stiff bristle yard brush across a sandy bonnet, what were you thinking 😣 It's been tucked away safely for all those years too 😂 Saying that though, what a car ❤👍
its had boxes and tins stacked on it for 30 years. Without compressed air theres no way of moving it off without contact
Great episode!
New wife or old MG ? MG plzzz
Lovely car, I had a Austin Maestro 1600 HLS back in the day, nippy reliable car. Sadly got rear ended and written off.
A proper MG made in the UK 100% better than the wannabe MGs built in China they will no be around in 30 years time as with this MG Metro as for that BMW 900 there was a production motorcycle race for production motorcycles and one of these won the race for that year the race was called the Castrol 6 hour held Amaroo park N.S.W then later to Oran park
👍🏴
Still looks good. It's like a 1970 Range Rover in that it's clean, classic and timeless. It drove way better than any of it's competition in 1974 too. A pity VAG can't make anything as reliable these days!
♥️👍🏻
That is a potential concours winner. 😍
it wouldnt take much to make that of it
Hunkily Dorily
Good luck with those Dell'Orto carbs on the the Beemer...makes you feel any better, their rebuild kits, un like the smae for a Bing, is cheaper than the price of the cab itself...and that tank, OH MY!
I remember my Uncle Malc bragging about his Dellorto carbs to me 😞 Be interesting to see how seized they are, hopefully a little tap and the free off. I was shocked that there was liquid petrol in the tank. The inside of the tank looked ok, just around the filler cap was bad, the rubber seal was no longer there i don't think..
Brilliant vid love an Mg Maestro!!
What a treat this was! Thank you!
I love the wheels on this car. Where can I find them?
Matt turning in to Jonny Smith and also you forgot ur BFF
I always enjoy "barn find" videos, particularly finding out the back stories behind why they were parked up for so long and getting some insight into the former owner's life. I must say both the Maestro and motorbike were obviously well looked after and it was good they were stored in a garage that was in good shape. If Paul doesn't hold onto them, I hope both the Maestro and the bike go to a good home and get back on the road again.
Alcester, in Warwickshire, is about 50 miles from Stafford, in er, Staffordshire. Between them is that little place called Birmingham! 😂
I would really love to have this car, i used to have one just like it in white too, though it was on an older "D" plate.
It's always worth checking the Air Cleaner Box...to ensure no Mice have built Nests in there....to avoid the nest bits getting sucked into the engine...they notoriously build nests in air cleaner boxes and air intake pipes.
My car history is 1976 Clubman Estate, then hearing aid Beige Fiesta, then, fanfare! "C" reg MG Maestro EFi, black Loved it. As you say underrated by the press, but it was fairly quick, I loved it
Plenty of mid range torque
Deep Heat albums were cool I've still got several on vinyl. They were compilation albums of indie rave stuff late 80s early 90s.
Your original wheels and tyres are terrible. 19” are just too big.
I bet some clowns might have poo pooed these cars, but I think they are a nice lookers. Even the more basic no frills versions are too. Hope the keys turn up.
I had a White MG Maestro exactly like that one, it was a 1989 G Reg. I owned 3 MG Maestro's back in the day, but always wanted a Turbo.
Great video as normal 👍 Does he know what he wants for it, as is?
I dont know, hard to t put a price on but open to offers
This car needs to come to the channel..!!! I was waiting for you to announce you bought it.
not rusty enough!
I cringed when you dragged the broom across the bonnet.😬
its had boxes and tins stacked on it for 30 years. Without compressed air theres no way of moving it off without contact
Think in the day when you got the ferry to the i.o.m. you had to have the tank pumped out,hence the sticker
Need to do more barn finds 😊
only 3mins to the star in the garage shame
Love it. Had an 88 MG Maestro 2.0i, was a brilliant car and way better than my mates Astra GTE. I would love another, but the logistics of getting this one to the States counts it out (plus no a/c). I hope you do the detailing video of it, I would love to see how it cleans up. Good luck with the sale.
Makes me reminisce my astra sri from the same year with the cheque interior 1800 , was quick but rotten 😂
I just love mechanics that squirt petrol around everywhere. That’s proper😂
DONT DO THIS AT HOME lol. Just another day in the office for me, loved the day though, something a bit different.
Mg maestro was such a good car
What a find,a good deep wash. Many more happy miles left in this beauty.
Love the MG'S
Loved this, thanks guys. Had an early C reg one in Moonraker Blue, brilliant underrated hot hatch and with power steering to reduce lock from 4 to 3 turns it was reputed by the motoring press to be just about the best hot hatch - hard to believe of a Maestro, but true. Took mine down to Italy on holiday, had it sat at 130 mph (on the overreading speedo) for hours on the autobahn - exactly matching a Mk1 & Mk2 Golf GTI, who probably wondered what the hell is was.
Inflicted more damage to that bonnet than all the years it was on the road!🤡😳🤬
I only used the brush very lightly, didn't want the stuff going down the vents under the windscreen. There were cans of food on the bonnet that had rusted and leaked, looks to be stained and may not polish out, hope it does.
its had boxes and tins stacked on it for 30 years. Without compressed air theres no way of moving it off without contact
Loved these cars, had the 1.6 carburetted version, my neighbour had the 2.0l EFI. Lovely to drive and fast enough to have fun. Even had the talking dashboard, which thankfully had a mute button.
People rubbished BL/Austin/Rover or what there name was at the time but they bought out some cutting edge technology like the dashing dash you mention, annoying but brilliant at the same time!
