G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-13 13:41	Horrid, horrid car.
antp ◊ 2006-10-13 14:02	I do not dislike it, it looks OK for me.

Weasel1984 ◊ 2006-10-13 14:23	Ami 6 - sedan was... beautiful. I like it very much. -- Last edit: 2006-10-13 14:25:53

Weasel1984 ◊ 2006-10-13 14:41	sixcyl wrote ... "(bad) taste and colours" can't be discussed (just kidding Ok? ) Alright, of course Ami isn't my favourite car, but in old black & white brochures looked good. And this "face" of the... fish... very nice. -- Last edit: 2006-10-13 14:47:46
sixcyl ◊ 2006-10-13 14:48	I agree Weasel, there are two categories of uggly cars... the ones like Ami 6 that have originality though a design to give fear and those like Axel or Visa wich are just uggly with a shape line to die of
Sunbar ◊ 2006-10-13 15:30	The Maestro was a bland inoffensive design but not ugly. It was OK to drive and better than some more popular Fords or Vauxhalls at the time although the quality was not as good. The Montego as the sedan/saloon version was a far worse design because of the strange concave door panels plus the rear and side windows.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2006-10-13 16:27	sixcyl wrote ... there are two categories of uggly cars... That's right. Similar situation we had for example with Avantime (maybe not ugly but... strange). BTW. I must to say that I prefer more even Visa than some recent cars in retro style. Retro - thing that I hate (not only in cars). -- Last edit: 2006-10-13 17:42:28

The GTI version was nice -- Last edit: 2006-10-13 20:17:37
wye222 ◊ 2006-10-15 01:06	I've had several Maestros, they've been excellent vehicles. I used to have a 1991 ex-police Maestro hatchback, similar to the one pictured, and at the moment I have two Maestro vans, one of which I've had for 11 years and its never let me down
G-MANN ◊ 2007-02-20 18:26	The vehicle details for B816 EOA are: Date of Liability 01 03 1997 Date of First Registration 15 04 1985 Year of Manufacture 1985 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1275CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour WHITE
chris40 ◊ 2007-09-06 17:45	Anyone ever seen one of these? I haven't. http://www.foto24.ee/album/10379/s3 Maybe it was only for the Estonian market ...
Kowalski ◊ 2008-03-27 17:14	G-MANN wrote Horrid, horrid car. Yes it is. So much in fact, that vast majority rusted away and of the 605,410 there are 11.574 left on the roads.
Yanamation ◊ 2009-01-13 14:21	Which district or constabulary is the car based on?
Sunbar ◊ 2009-01-13 14:38	This scene filmed a long way north of London at Much Wenlock, Shropshire but the car has a Brighton, Sussex registration. The car is probably the film company's idea of a generic "Panda car".
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2009-01-13 14:59	B816 EOA was registered in Birmingham in 1985. The registration letters allocated to Brighton are CD and UF. Are we looking at a different car? If you think that the Maestro was on sale at the same time as the Renault 9 and 11, or the Peugeot 309 it doesn't seem so bad.
Sunbar ◊ 2009-01-13 15:32	My source http://waxxtm.com/registrations.html lists OA Brighton OB Birmingham OC Birningham so obviously an error since Birmingham is more likely.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2009-01-13 17:03	One of our stable of cars, a Vauxhall Corsa which we use as a dog kennel, is registered P xxx GOA, quite definitely in Birmingham. The car is twelve years old and does about 500 miles a year, but is very useful as a spare. My Bentley is NOL xxx also registered in Birmingham, and the Audi was BP 55 xxx before I put my personal plate on, which is part of the new Birmingham series.
Yanamation ◊ 2009-01-15 12:00	By the way! there is another unknown district and constabulary police car from /vehicle_7015-Ford-Fiesta-1984.html (a Ford Fiesta) also featured from Clockwise, which the panda car looks like from an animated children TV series "PC Pinkerton". -- Last edit: 2009-01-15 12:01:49
dsl ◊ 2018-08-24 20:49	Probable factory plate and publicity fleet pretend police car - /vehicle_1172586-Austin-Maestro.html etc
