The 80’s and 90’s were an era of innovation and raw driving thrill for the automotive industry in which it thrived. Outrageous concepts took the stage at many auto shows and become immortalised to this very day, of course some more than others.

Many concepts were designed to be outlandish creations to show off what manufacturers can do when they have complete freedom with their designs, however nobody quite expected bavarian automotive giant BMW to come up with a small ,economical but still rather fast compact vehicle This was the BMW Z13…

The 1980’s saw a hot hatch boom, with cars such as the Golf GTi MK2, Ford Fiesta XR2i, Datsun Cherry Turbo, Renault 5 Turbo and many more. Austin, part of British Leyland at the time decided it wanted a slice of the hot hatch cake and began developing a high performance version of the rather mundane Austin Maestro. And thus the MG Maestro was born…
