My first car, an MG Maestro 2.0i. It had a 8 valve 2.0 engine with 115bhp, it was geared for acceleration though as 0-60 is around 8.5 seconds. It torque steered like a b**ch though, man that chassis was bad, I can't imagine how much of a pig the Maestro Turbo is to drive!
It had the Maestro Turbo body kit, drilled & grooved brakes, MG TF wheels and a Scorpion exhaust that was rather loud.

 

[Scrooge]

I still crave a tickford turbo maestro.

 

[Mr Burns]

My dad had an MG Maestro non-turbo. I wanted to hate it, but I couldn't.

 

[Mork of Ork]

The thing is, despite it having a s**t chassis, sagging headlining, no parts available etc I would have another if I would trust it to actually keep going. It eventually kept cutting out at traffic lights etc so I part-exed it for a Ford Puma, just in case that counts as an old skool hatch (despite being a coupe it was a hatchback on the V5) here's a pic.

Torque steered with 115hp, were the wheels facing outwards?

Never liked these tbh, my nova sr used to skin them!

No, the chassis was just very very badly designed. :laughing:

Here's my old Escort Si

The car wasn't very old at the time, so with me being a young driver I actually felt like a bit of pimp driving around in it! lol

[mossyv6]

Part of my current "non-Clio" collection, lol.

 

[MarcB]

I have been looking at these :fearscream:

 

[Daniel]

Wtf have they done to the bonnet on that Metro???

 

[Mr Burns]

Stuck a Rover grille on it?

Worst bit is, knowing Rover it's probably OEM.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Cool thread. Love old hatches
How many cars do you have mossy?! [emoji5] they look lovely

Only old hatch I've had, mk2 with mk4 20vt engine, ecu and gearbox.

Had it restored and colour changed from black to oem bright metallic blue.

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm lowering the tone again with my old MG Metro... My mum took a picture of the only time I washed it back in 1998.

 

[BashRacing]

I had a 1275 gt clubman in this colour and nearly the same spec in the 90's,
I know it's technically a saloon if we're splitting hairs but I think it deserves being in here

My kiwi mates Mi16 (?) 205 GTI. It's epic.

The Wheeler Dealer 205 GTI. Did you have it before or after? Dead now I believe?

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Always liked the Metro GTi's after my Dad had a few when i was a nipper, seemed like a rocket ship back then. That Red one looks clean, but WTF is that Grille about lol

 

[MrBlonde]

Love the R5 @mossyv6 perfect stance and rims!.
I bought it from the production company mate from wheeler dealers @ilovewilly
What was the mk2 like to drive then? @LiquidYellDan

If you're gonna look at quick Metros you should at least look at the best one.

 

[ChrisR]

Wish I had some pics of my old R19 16v, miss that car so much. I'd buy another tomorrow if could actually find one.

 

[Gorms]

Here are a few I have owned

Not so old but still 20 years old now,

First car, death trap...
