AUSTIN ROVER is displaying only two car-derived van models at Ulasgow — a Metro City and a Maestro 7110L. Both vans are fitted with the Austin Rover A-plus 1,275cc petrol engine coupled to the standard four-speed gearbox.
Maximum power of the Metro City van is 46kW (62hp), while the Maestro 700L's engine is rated at 51kw (68hp).
The Metro has a load volume of 1.08m3 and a maximum payload of 310kg. City variants have a basic interior trim aimed more at fleet operators. The Maestro 700 has a 2.43m3 load volume and a 700kg payload. The 1. prefix denotes :a high-spec interior trim with cloth-faced seats and full carpeting.
Although AR has been developing a two-litre direct-injection diesel engine for the Maestro jointly with Perkins, it will not be available until sometime next year.
