MG Maestro Turbo American Hot Cars folder. Not available in the UK,
these are available on Ebay if you keep looking.
The car featured in the folder, at the time belonged to my wife - Tickford No.502. The photography
was shot in a studio in London for this American publication.
The image shows two of these folders to show you what both sides look like. The document is a single page
which is folded down the middle and is on American size glossy paper with three holes so it can be
mounted in a weekly binder. The picture of the car with the inset MG logo was taken at Wokefield Park,
near Reading and features me behind the driving wheel. This car now belongs to John & Wilma Orrell in Lancashire.

Maestro Turbo Press Pictures - there are two versions of these pictures. These are the first originals from when the car was launched in 1989.
But there are also a more recent version, using the same pictures, for the MG 80th anniversary. The difference being the modern versions have the
newer MG logos instead of the British Leyland logos - pictures to follow

Maestro Turbo Tickford Factory Picture - this rare picture taken in the Tickford Factory showing the
Maestro turbos being built came up on Ebay. Rare photos like this are highly sought after by
collectors.
If you have the original then I'd really like a copy of it - please get in touch!

Maestro Turbo original advert - Faster than a Ferrari.....
These original adverts did appear in some
motoring magazines at the time, but are difficult to find. Let me know if you know which ones please.
I know one issue of the MG Car Club's magazine - Safety Fast - did carry this advert.

Maestro Turbo pewter effect model - the larger 1:43 scale model I had produced as a regalia item for
the MG Car Club FWD register - each model came with a Limited Edition certificate. Contact the FWD register if you don't have one.
The smaller 1:92 scale model was already in production but was much cruder and less well sculpted.

Maestro Turbo pin badges were created by me for the MG Car Club's FWD register.
Only a limited number of each colour were made. Contact the FWD register if you haven't got yours.

This Maestro Turbo brochure is probably the rarest collectable for the enthusiast.
A couple have appeared on Ebay in recent years, but each time I've been outbid in the last few seconds of the auction.
If you have one for sale then please let me know as I am still trying to get my hands on one!
The document opens up into a poster of the car on one side and has details of the car on the other.

This copy of Enjoying MG magazine featured my wife's Maestro Turbo on the front cover.
It also featured a four page spread on our cars, which at the time consisted of four Maestro turbos and one MGF.
Two of the Maestro turbos were T16 engined versions built by Roger Parker.
