Just popped to Tesco's for a generic chicken/stuffing sandwich
(may contain nuts) and saw this van
Now I understood that all these Austin Rovers were just a rotting heap of Iron Oxide these days but this beauty has been *really* cared for.
My mate had a works van like this about 18 years ago and I remember the comedy rock-hard rear sussy
Fair play to this one though and it was nice to see it.

Looks like a medium to big Tescos... I'd have gone for the seafood sarnies
That's an incredibly well looked after Maestro though. Very impressive. Notice the clear indicator lenses? Well ahead of their time *cough*
The n/s headlamp looks a bit dodgy though
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

and colour coded door handles and fuel filler cap help bring it bang up to date
