The estate looks good - what engine's in it?

[trigger]

Hello and welcome!

 

That H plate Montego looks well tidy, but i fear for your sanity owning that many of them!

[Angrydicky]

Lots of lovely Montegos...welcome to AS!

[Alexg]

The people who live nextdoor must love you!

 

well done on a great collection!

[eddyramrod]

Welcome! Been there myself, so well done for gathering all those together. The Rover will be Targa Red, won't it? I remember thinking how dowdy that colour looked when Flame appeared for 1989, as seen on your MGs... But talking of dowdy!

 

 

Awful colour, bloody gorgeous car to drive. I loved it.

[Cavcraft]

Welcome along, some nice cars you have there.

[boobydoo]

The red one looks a peach!

If I saw a Montego in the street I'd stop and have a good look round! I wouldn't have said that even five years ago!! They've really grown on me!!

That's pretty considerate. Hope your neighbours don't think all car enthusiasts are like you!

Current owned!

 

 

[Guest Tony Hayers]

A big welcome to you and your Austin Rovers. I like the look of UKY (say it in a Welsh accent) the Estate. That red A plate Maestro must be the ultra rare 1600 S series, with the talking dash?

 

Can we have some more pictures of your Mk1 200, please?

[254575]

maestego - are you on the MMOC forums?

[AlsoMike]

The Rover looks pretty good on those later rims!

 

I've previously owned a Maestro too, back in 2005. Here it is, oddly photographed in front of a graveyard.

 

 

Great car, but had holes in the boot floor and is now no longer on the DVLA database.

[oldford]

I do like Montegos and Maestros, I remember driving hundreds of them when they were new.

 

I'll raise you a Montegos nemesis:

 

[mattblack]

My dad's old Mayfair...

 

 

Ragtop spotted at a local show last year...

 

[trigger]

Your Sierra oldford is

[oldford]

Thanks Trigger, but I think that your newly acquired 'Tooty Fruity'* is in a league above.

 

I saw a Montego in Ipswich the other week. I did have the rather dubious honour of getting shunted by a Montego estate. I was turning right in a Peugeot 106 and had stopped for oncoming traffic, unfortunately my work colleague behind in the Montego didn't quite manage to come to a complete stop until he hit me.

 

 

(* think of a confection before it was renamed Starburst.)

[trigger]

Poor Montego was it a customers car?.

 

(P.s i was thinking of the Kadett of being more like a Opel Fruit )

[oldford]

No, it was a rental car, like the one it hit, the bosses son was driving it.

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

They're Starbursts now, it's political correctness gone mad.

[maestego]

Ragtop spotted at a local show last year...

 

oh my god,jeff patterson have a look of your old monty ragtop.....

i see if i still have the photo when we picked up this ragtop and we stopped on the A1 at that usa cafe thingy,a cup of coffee cost 1/2 gallon of petrol

i had to many i could count and all got wrap around something,a cortina running gear with a shite shell,bring back the old corty.

i can remember breaking down with my mk3 cortina with a cambelt snapped so i walked around 1/2 mile to the nearest spare shop in plumstead got a cambelt and replace the one that snapped timed it up with a small toolkit i always kept in my boot and drove home thats old skool cars.

 

now if had the cash to buy a mg monty in the 90's i would of but sierra's i could buy from any scrap yard or the local papers for around £100-£150 back in the 90's for a mk1.

i had 4 or five sierra's when i was living at laysdown and when i moved up north i had two of the mk2 ghia's and they was one rot box on wheels like the escorts.

all the mid 80's to 90's where rust bucket due to the steel
