AUSTIN ROVER is to follow Ford's and Bedford's example and offer a 1.6 litre petrol engine in its Maestro van range in the autumn.
The 1.6 litre Maestro van will be equipped with the four-cylinder transverse mounted 1598cc S Series overhead camshaft engine, currently fitted in the Montego and Maestro cars. It has a maximum power rating of 63kW (85hp) at 5,600rpm and peak torque of 132Nm (97 lbft) at 3,500rpm.
Although the S Series is available with a choice of either four or five-speed gearboxes in Austin Rover's car range, the final choice of gearbox in the 1.6 litre Maestro van has yet to be announced.
