When I worked at the Rover garage we had 2 MG Maestros(1 black 1 red) that stood in the showroom for a year and they been in the compound for at least 6 months. By the time they sold them the black one was 18 months old and the red one nearly 2 years old

No one wanted pathetic 4 cylinder front wheel drive BMC heaps.Who would have thought it.

Actually they were a hot hatch there main rivals were the likes of the Astra GTE and Ford ■■■■■■ XR2/3 etc.
We mostly sold Family cars, we had 3 generations (i.e. Grandparents, Parents and children from the same family) coming to buy cars from us but performance cars weren’t our thing. Then the insurance companies went silly with their prices which didn’t help.
