Look what's back in production

The Maestro van might have long-since rusted away in the UK, but incredibly this automotive relic is still rolling off the production line in China.

According to China Car Times (which is well worth checking out), the van is back in production after a six-year gap. It had previously been built by tobacco producer Etsong, but now the tooling is in the hands of FAW.

Apparently the old A and O-Series lumps have been replaced by a locally-built Jiangsu Rui An 1.5-litre engine.

For a complete history of the Maestro we recommend that you take a look at this.

I note that the Maestro van illustrated appears to have acquired a Montego grille/wings assembly which is arguably better looking than the original.
