Didn't AN Racing do a 600bhp Maestro van?
Dunno about a van, but he did a pretty quick Maestro hatch. Ran 11's on the strip if I remember rightly.P.s: get one while they are hot: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2011...

An ex-BT grey Maestro Van, a MG Montego and my series one Alfa Romeo 33 Giardinetta 4x4 (one of only a hundred and fifty made and three left in the country) from the comfort of my Rover 213S (one of only 168 series one Rover 200 left in the country). 
Good god. My late grandfather had a series 1 213. Horible car! D623 TUF if that's still about. Lovely shade of 'Old Rover Driver Mint Blue' Dreadful thing!The Crack Fox said:
Pah, I know of a guy with a Montego Countryman diesel estate with 7 seat conversion so he can punish his entire family in it.
I remember being banned from sitting in the back of my dads Montego as me and my brothers could tip it to the point of lifting the front wheels off the ground...renrut said:

I bought it as a stop gap car but actually I wouldn't swap it for anything new. Cheap to run (40+mpg if I'm careful), insurance is an issue for me because of the no win no fee shysters getting £15,000 for someone who was in no way injured in a previous bump but it would be whatever car I drive. It has the 80's chunkyness to it but is still a lot better than all the other auto-cad clones on the car park. I can get the family and a boot full of shopping in comfortably. The car hit's 110mph and handles fairly well on a track. More details and pictures here.....

One of my friends Dads had a 7 seat Montego estate, was the coolest car around because you could wave at other drivers following you when sat in the boot. Was much better than my Dads lowly Montego saloon.

My little bruv and I were generally put on the 'back bench' when we were naughty but we actually preferred it for some daft reason.A local handyman still uses a blue Maestro van on a W plate.

Slight O/T but how do you know those stats? Did you get the information from the DVLA or something?
