Andy Nicholls is very well known in the Rover tuning community. He has a white maestro that he uses in ten of the best as well. Fastest road legal front wheel drive car in the country.

Saw this mentioned on another thread here. It's been blue for a while now, I think maybe a year or thereabouts. You can see some videos of it at this year's recent Ten Of The Best here:
http://www.an-racing.co.uk/page11.html

It has a heavily modified Rover T16 turbo engine. It's a 2 litre as standard but has been bored out to 2.1.

For anyone that's interested, the T16 turbo engine was fitted in the 220/420 turbo, 220 coupe turbo, 620ti and 820 Vitesse Sport from the factory. Maestros and Montegos never came with the T16 engine from the factory but there was a 2 litre turbo O series 8 valve engine available in these.

Standard O series turbo engine in (MG) Maestro turbos as far as I remember are 150bhp (or that could be 150PS).
Standard T series turbo is 200PS (approx 197bhp).
