It shows the penny pinching accountants getting involved! I bet the designers can't even look at it!

Re: Decent car YouTubes
I've not watched the video yet but assuming it's a 145, did they have the rear seatbelts attached to chromed steel rods like the 245? I loved the fact that those were visible through the massive rear side windows.

Great vid. Trevor took fastidiousness to a whole new level.

My grandad had a MG Maestro turbo. Felt pretty rapid to me at the time.
Was still a Maestro though

Re: Decent car YouTubes
I remember my mum got one as a courtesy car when someone (17 year old me) wrote off her Maestro. I always though it was a weird car to have on the bodywork courtesy fleet!
Re: Decent car YouTubes
When my Dad worked for a Vauxhall dealership they would give out the demonstrators as courtesy cars if they ran out of the 1.0 Corsas they usually used. If you were really lucky you might get a V6 Vectra or Omega .
The management types would use them like company cars as well. I’m amazed that they ever actually had any to demonstrate.
