Austin maestro 1.3L A series engine
The engine was fine althoug lacking power with the size of the body. The main gripe was the rust loving bodywork, oh and the leaking boot that filled up like a paddling pool, I remember the first time it happened and the handling was worse than normal, I could hear a sloshing sound, went in the boot and had to spend 15mins bailing water lol. fixed it up (bodged) with adhesive and a margarine pot then sprayed with hammerite boat paint. What a laugh After this went fiat - some good n bad experiences before going ford. Looking forward to nissan next
