Terrible cars. I owned a 1.6L - head gasket went. Then a 2.0 MG EFI (non turbo) - engine siezed. Then years later a 2.0 GTi - steering rack went. Then a late model BRG GTi - head gasket went. They a rust buckets. Turbo is fast if you like torque steering all over the place. Mind you to be fair to this one in a few years it might be worth some good money as there are virtually none left outside of the scrappies now.
I am looking to buy any Montego preferably an MG, EFI or Vanden Plas but can't find any for sale anywhere. Any advice where i could purchase one please?
I had 1 of these a great car and very fact and comfortable, my father had it after me. the reg was F540 bwo if anyone knows of its whereabouts id be interested to know.
@w4r5f66 The vehicle details for F540 BWO are: Date of Liability 01 08 2002 Date of First Registration 28 02 1989 Year of Manufacture 1989 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1994CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BROWN Vehicle Type Approval
nice car. I had a rover 416GTi and it had leather seats same shape as that but they were blue. the car was blue with the legendary HONDA 1.6 16V TWIN CAM INJECTION!!!
Hi I had a brand new one, H reg 2.0ltr SL it spent more time in the garage than on the road, kept it for 2 years and got rid of it, worst motor ive owned
Loved these cars, owned a couple of 2.0 EFI Maestros but not a Monty, always regret that....

fucking stunning, give you £30 for it. Bet the windscreen cost more than what the car is worth.

They reckon the best Montego to buy was the standard 1300 model because it had the reliable A+ Series engine in.
I think it was the only A series engined Leyland car to have an automatic choke.

Lovely car. I don't know why people slate them so much either- I think they're awesome. Those 2.0 litre O Series engines are pretty bomb proof too.
Have it serviced regularly (especially the turbo units) and the cambelt replaced and you should have plenty of happy motoring.
Treasure it because these are really getting rare now.

Very Fast Cars MG Montego's When They Were Made They Where The Fastest 4 Door Saloons In The World Until 1991 When Another Car Was Faster

I noticed all Montego's have a 'caravan' light on the display panel. What's that about?
kazimann 1 year ago
@kazimann The caravan light is for a towbar, sometimes the light comes on when you put the hazzards on. Its a common complaint
