Fucked Montegos on ARSEOnline

[Partridge]

These are being offered on ARSEOnline for about £3/400. Are these the rustiest and most neglected looking Monties we've seen yet? It's a shame that section on the site yonks and yonks ago of "extreme car neglect" isn't still around, a few members would be frotting themselves over these pics. Pictures SHAMELESSLY STOLEN

Bonus Maestro

I wonder if anyone will be brave/stupid enough to buy one?

 

[EssDeeWon]

Well......... the filler cap looks 'OK' on that moonraker blue monty?

[Pillock]

I don't think The Doctor will be lying awake tonight fretting.....

Is there someone walking around in bare feet in the first photo??

[TRW]

Where's Captain Skelton?

 

TBH, our old Maestro was worse and it still got taxed............

His Montego bit him the other day and left him with a minor flesh wound. So he's probably not in the mood.

We was welding up shit like that on Montegos and Maestros 15 years ago.

[Steviemillar]

F*ck-a-duck those motors are well buggered!!

Not I.

[rml2345]

Shirley those are all beyond even the most talented of welders? Great collection of damp spares though.

[hazzalandy]

Just imagine if they were Golfs or escorts, they'd be on eBay for thousands.

 

Was it £300 the lot?

[Partridge]

Nope, each!

But there's nothing to weld

Well, it's a start...

[Lacquer Peel]

Ideal for FOAD.

[Bren]

I love the way the trim around the pillar on the blue one is lined up.

 

You can tell it as an AR product.

[mercrocker]

Blimey, the blokes who injected all the rust in Farinas must still have been at Cowley and Longbridge, then.  

[derskine]

Think FOAD has pics of an even more rusty one.

[RedSparrow]

You can get a Maestro or Montego in a hundred times better nick that that for £300 off ebay or whatever.

 

I guess it's all 'Rover' for them, eh guise?!!!! HO HO HO HO HO

[derskine]

Rover scene tax is what it is

[Partridge]

Shuush! You're not meant to say that.

[TagoraSX]

Where are they?

 

Atlantis?

[John F]

Hopeless.

Just off Condemned street, at the corner of Uneconomic and Parts Donor, 

[stuboy]

dam there krusty

[srad34]

burn them with fire, they is deaaaaaad 

[Angrydicky]

I would say, out of that lot the only one that's got any chance of being saved is the white turbo, as it's a desirable spec and doesn't look quite as rotten as the others. It's still hit and miss whether someone would be willing to weld it up though.

[plasticvandan]

and they were parked up for being fucked in the first place.

[John F]

Value of a repaired, MOT'd Montego: maybe £500 if you can find someone desperate enough to own some horrific old BL tat instead of, oh, say a V8 BMW.

Estimated number of hours of grinding, fabricating and welding required to turn any of those horrors into a car again: 1000

Minus purchase cost (bridge money, estimated £150)

Profit: £350

Or 35p per hour.

Availability of non-fucked Montegos, in the event someone has an itch that just has to be scratched: two or three currently available for between £500 and £800

So no. Just no.

 

EDIT: just seen that the seller wants £3/400 EACH for them. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, etc.
