    Using the Stag daily at the moment as the SAAB's broken and I don't want to use the Montego in inclement weather
    Yes I did drive past your front door , in fact being high up in a truck I could see you eating breakfast at your kitchen table lol joking apart , loved the stag always wanted one but have settled for a yank V8 but still may have one in the future.

      Not on Thursday morning, I was somewhat delicate after a Christmas party and had all the curtains closed

      Thanks for the nice words about the Stag. Wish I didn't have to daily it tbh but there's too much to do on the SAAB to risk it atm. Perfect daily hack...

            • Really tidy red Montego estate spotted about an hour ago at the Progress Road junction in Southend, it came up from Eastwood area and turned off towards Rayleigh/Basildon/London. Reg was something like H639 KWC. It was dirty but looked perfect under the dirt, right down to the original wheeltrims. Unfortunately I was in my Austin Somerset, rather than my Maestro. Middle aged chap driving.

                • Not quite the real thing, but I had an email today from a fleabay trader I bought something from, who advised me that they had not had a collection today so goods won't be despatched until Monday, only to see that their email signature gif was a red Maestro City towing their company name into view!

                  • Not a Maestro or Montego, but...
                    Heading back home from Kent in the Maestro, I'd not long joined the M2 and was coming up to the Faversham junction, when I saw what I thought was a Montego in the distance!
                    Obviously I put my foot down to catch up with the car, which turned out to be a very tidy, gold, B reg Rover 213!
                    As I passed the Rover I bipped my horn and waved at the driver, who gave me a wave back, although he was an older chap, so I'm not sure if he was an enthusiast or a long term owner. It was in fantastic condition though, no rust at all that I could see.

                    • Montego in Lincolnshire

                      Was any one going to a classic car run the other week (26/4) in a red Montego around Coningsby? Looked a really lovely car! Only caught a glimpse, but I don't get to see many Montys around where I live so it was a lovely sight!

                          I saw this today at Chipping Show near Preston, does it belong to anyone here? it looked very solid.
