Good find.
I can remember these cars when they were fairly new (worked in the motor trade at the time). Shocking build quality in the days where VW built their reputation that they still trade on now despite VWs being nothing special anymore.
The metal on the roof of a Maestro was about half a mm thick!! Touch it and it would bend big time!!
The Metro Turbos were insane fun, you could just blast everywhere in them at the same speed as they weren't all that fast but you hardly had to lift off at all when you went round a corner.
