Watching television at my mum's wednesday night and she had Lovejoy on the Yesterday channel on.
Lovely MG Montego EFi for sale on a dealers lot for over £3k

Watching a couple of old re-runs of Keeping Up Appearances on freeview this week spotted a green MG metro on one episode parked opposite Mrs Buckets house , then on the next episode next day a base model beige maestro in the same spot .

Spotted a year ago In Tenerife. I know its late but just found pic on phone. Car has been there for many years. Always make a point of checking its still there. Cant believe the rust on it. Faded dashboards yeah but rust!!

Again a wee bit late but just found it on my phone. Saw it beside the bus station Tenerife. I've saw it over the years in different places around the Costa Adeje area so still in use

Montego Spotted In Surrey.

Spotted early evening today around 6.30pm on the A3 just past the M25 junction towards Weybridge.
Just saw it through the central reservation, was a Grey saloon. Looked very smart from what I could see. H...JWG.

Only Grey Montego saloon I have spotted in Surrey in recent years is 2.0 SLX with the registration H168 TWG, I've seen it a few times on the Motorway and it's in pretty good shape. There are a couple of pictures of this car on Flickr.

That could well have been it then Matt as I did have to turn my head around to look & try to remember the registration. Could not see the model specifics though.

[Guest]

I only found out the specifics Andy after finding the pics on Flickr. I remember first seeing it on the M23 one morning in 2008 and as it overtook me I thought to myself then I had'nt seen one of them in ages!!! I have seen it a few times since and it's good to know that the car is still going strong today. I suspect there is'nt too many SLX spec cars left neither!

There arn't many of any spec left. I can't believe it is a press release now when we see a Maestro or Montego on the road given how common they once were sadly

Yes is a shame indeed but it's the same for any other similar car of the same era aswell from Ford, Vauxhall and the like - I could'nt tell you when I last saw a Cavalier, or even a Pug 405 come to think of it. Sierra very few and far between now but still most likely to be spotted over the others. Most people did'nt see these cars as future classics and as we all know most were just used and abused until they all ended up being just a cheap motor before being scrapped.

Can you not put your spots in the Maestro/Montego spotting thread as that's what it's for?
