From
Derbyshire we have a story of forgotten automotive treasures.
Three abandoned cars which have spent more than 20 years stuck on a former garage forecourt have certainly got tongues wagging that they could be potentially be 'modern day classics' and collectors' items.
It comes after our story by the old South Derbyshire garage 'frozen in time' because it has been disused for so long.
Interesting? Not really.
The garage still houses an Vauxhall Cavalier, a Rover 820 and a Austin Rover Maestro - all with H registration plates which date back to 1990 - and considered modern classics if in good condition today. All the cars went out of production years ago.
Sadly though these old cars might just be the stuff of dreams as supercar dealer claims they may not be worth restoring.

The Maestro was not even worth building, let alone restoring.
Maestro? Oh yes, absolutely classic ... joke.
Asamattererfak, I had an MG Maestro in the early nineties, and it was a fabulous car. It never went wrong, had great acceleration, road-holding and braking, and after 175,000 miles, I reckon it had done its job pretty well!
But the clip below was always going to top The Derbyshire News slot...

Sam, James and Scrobs - my dad had a Maestro which was okay to drive and quite reliable. I drove it a few times and liked its practicality. Maybe it wasn't a Friday afternoon car.
