1984 AUSTIN MAESTRO HLE - a photo on Flickriver

1984 AUSTIN MAESTRO HLE

            This caught my eye on the internet and I noticed it was being auctioned near to me (Barons Sandown) and went to see it. When I walked up to the entrance the man behind the desk said you need a catalogue to get in! The catalogue was £17!!!!!!!! But kindly he let me in. Auction catalogues are normally only £5. This Maestro has only done 102 miles from new! You heard me right 102 miles!! For some reason the original owner who lived in Southwark, London bought the car and stored in a council lock up ever since. The car was found recently when they demolished the lock ups. It has it's original paper 'Henlys' dealer mats which are very original!!! The car was last taxed in July 1985 by the dealer but it's been unlicensed since 1998. I wonder why... I don't think it was SORNed either, as SORN was only introduced in 1998. Can anyone suggest why it has this unusual tax status?

The enquiry is complete.
