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.

    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?

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..

    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.

    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.
