Here is one that has sat in my phone for a few weeks.

How many Peugeot dealers would know what to do with one?
I would say whatever is wrong with it it will be fixable! Not like when "the Computa" goes kaput for your modern cars, and despite all the diagnostics available, many threads will testify that in general, the main dealer is just as clueless as the rest of us.
Peugeot 204? Can't decode French Number Plates to get the year. Somewhere between 1965 and 1976 but more likely to be 70's.
looks lovely, I was thinking 204 also, but unsure of the difference between it and the 304. Looks to be in nice nick despite the underseal on the lower part of the bodywork. Whatever's wrong, if anything, am sure the fix 'll be simple.
Lot to be said for older cars, had a look at the new MOT regs recently and checked back over my old MOT Emissions print outs, nothing to fear for me.
Strong chance I'd say that the Jag is the same vehicle as the one auctioned.
Bizarre sight in a Tesco car park yesterday, myself and my partner's brother, parked side by side boots open, transferring Mum in Law's luggage. My well-used 405 est and his wife's new Bentley V8-S convertible, could hardly get two more different cars. Just too late for a significant mileage pic on the way home, 260,003 is no good.
Nice to see this near Bingley Five Rise Locks. But boy what a stench of burning oil via the exhaust although the engine was burbling along quite nicely.
From the Owner's Club link above:
"With thanks to an ex-Rover executive, it is now known that after production was finished at Cowley in 1994, a purpose built production facility was built in Varna on the edge of the Black Sea to house the Maestro production line. It was planned that production would start and the car would be introduced to the Bulgarian market. However the arrival of Daewoo and Skoda, and their subsequent manufacture of cheap cars for this market ultimately caused the venture to fail. Subsequently some of these Maestros were returned to the UK when production stopped at Varna in the summer of 1996. These cars would surface a few years later and become what we now know as ‘Ledbury’ and ‘Apple 2000’ Maestros."
As a very rough guide, the rules to follow to differentiate between the two are:
1) Features an N or Y reg. number plate, but RHD wipers and mirrors (mirrors and wipers changed by owner for UK use) = Apple 2000 Maestro.
2) Features an N or Y reg. number plate, but LHD wipers and mirrors = Apple 2000 Maestro.
3) Features a number plate between R and 51 reg = Ledbury Maestro
4) Is Left hand drive with a G or H registration and a VIN beginning B10… = Ledbury Maestro
5) Has a non-Rover VIN starting B10… = Ledbury Maestro
7) Has a Rover VIN with the last letter 'V' and a build number in the 800,000s = Apple 2000 Maestro

Obviously I misread it. BAB 33M does give a response.
