Description
1989 MG Maestro Turbo No. 41 of 505 | 104, 000 Miles | British Racing Green
An exceptional opportunity to acquire this highly collectible 1989 MG Maestro Turbo, being No. 41 of just 505 examples produced. As one of Britain’s rarest performance hatchbacks of the 1980s, the Maestro Turbo has become increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Finished in its iconic British Racing Green, this genuine UK-supplied example has covered 104, 000 miles and presents exceptionally well throughout. Powered by its renowned turbocharged 2. 0 litre petrol engine, driving the front wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox, it delivers the lively and engaging driving experience that made the Maestro Turbo one of the defining hot hatches of its era.
This Maestro Turbo presents exceptionally well, with a deep, high-gloss finish to the paintwork, straight, well-preserved bodywork and a beautifully maintained original interior. The grey cloth sports seats with MG embroidery, original dashboard and trim all remain in impressive condition for their age. It drives exactly as it should, has always been dry stored and has clearly been cared for throughout its life.
One of the car’s greatest strengths is its extensive history file. The previous owner meticulously compiled a substantial folder of documentation, arranged in chronological order, creating a comprehensive record of the car’s maintenance, ownership and preservation over many years. It is exactly the sort of provenance collectors hope to find and reflects the care this Maestro Turbo has received throughout its life.
Mechanically, the engine starts readily, runs well and performs exactly as it should, with the gearbox selecting smoothly through all five gears. For complete peace of mind, the car will be fully serviced and supplied with a fresh MOT prior to sale.
According to the latest DVLA records, only 10 examples remain licensed for use on UK roads, with a further 96 recorded as SORN, highlighting just how few Maestro Turbos now survive.
With production limited to just 505 examples, genuine UK cars retaining their original specification are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of Britain’s most desirable modern classic hot hatches, complete with exceptional provenance and an impressive history file.
Viewing and inspections are warmly welcomed.
