Montego 1.6L, doesn't hang about - Russ Swift

[petrolnut]

when are they making a 'love it' button? This is easily the best advert i've ever seen. /my favourite bit is where he slides the front end 'round with handbrake on. Now to practice that with my parent's car! :D

[jaggass]

probably only a few thousand montego's left. Did they ever get exported?

[PennineProductions]

@jaggass Definitely, most notably to India.

[jaggass]

bet theres loads left in india as they can make old cars last along time.

The sierra was alot better than the montego and lasted for years not just for the season. :D

I worked for a cab firm in the early 1990s, we had a 1.6 sierra, cavalier and montego- the montego was the one we all used to fight over. it was the most comfortable, best handling and fastest. a good car

I like how they assume that just becasue it's badged "1.6L", it's comparable to the Cav. & the Sierra 1.6L. They should have compared on price. I mean, they could have just rebadged their VP to a 1.6L and then rattled on about leather seats and the like.

@lewis72: But it *was* a similar price to a 1.6 Sierra and Cav. All the major manufacturers had cars at that price point and trim level because it was the most competitive position in the whole range, attracting both fleet buyers and junior execs wanting their first company car. Rebadging the VP to 1.6L would have made it look too expensive compared to other 1.6Ls, toys or not. But the Montego VP was two litre anyhow, which placed it in a completely different bracket.

Proper stunts and everything, computers have been the death of this

[walkdru]

just been watching this on clarkson's dvd thanks for the upload brillant it was way before my time and had to see this

[majorfubar69]

Haha!! They daren't show or make anything like that anymore. It would be condemned and banned for being seen to promote dangerous and inappropriate driving. I wonder who the actor is in the car, what became of him and what he does now?

[djgobby]

@majorfubar69 Yeah, you're probably right.

[discocreator76]

@majorfubar69 Yep, the health and safety bullshitters would have hated this ad!
