Maestro / Montego Spotting

[matthewsemple]

AR in NZ

Don't know if AR sold cars there in the 80's - MG Rover have recently gone back in.

Montegos and Metros were definitely sold in New Zealand but not sure about Maestros. NZ is also one of the few countries outside Europe where you can buy an MG ZS. For eample, The ZT is available in Australia and the ZR and ZT is available in Mexico but the ZS is available in far fewer markets. Not sure how these decisions are made.

Where I live seems to be overrun with the buggers, I see 2 or 3 Maestros per day, and very rarely the same ones! Also a few Montys, saw a Turbo last week

Greetings From Spain...

You know you have it bad when you find an Internet Terminal in a Spanish bar and are browsing the Club´s forums...

Anyway...I´ve spotted some more unusual breeds of Montego this week, including 2 Rover badged Montego saloons and estates. (Rust free of course...)

I am sure i spotted one in a scrapyard as well...

There doesnt seem to be half as many Montego´s around in this area as there was last year. Where have they all gone as they cant have been killed by rust?

He was in Spain when he posted that :laugh: . There's not many left in Bury either but the decline has been more gradual over the last few years.

There is a Maestro ...Surf, seems to have been abandoned, very near my house. It has been there for about a month and is still untouched, which surprises me greatly!

I'll look out for you in Bury, but give us a clue as to which part you visit... :laugh: I live in Warth, near the Newbank Garden Centre (that cuts it down a bit, I know).

Dont forget to wave.. You'll know its me as I leave a train of rust behind!

Ah, Bury Market... one of the best markets in the UK, I would say.

But make sure you get a 'full fat' Black Pudding, the 'lean' ones aren't as nice . Actually, I don't think they are called 'full fat' but you get my drift. You will either love them or loathe them - personally I love them just don't think about what they are made from...


Ainsworth? That's about 4 miles away from here. I'm familiar with the locality.

Black Puddings Reminds me of my childhood! Now what exactly are they made of............ ........................................NO!!! DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT

(me gets the feeling this is not the last I will hear of the Black Pudding Saga) MUHAHAHAHA :laugh:

Black pudding? Absolutely gorgeous. So is white pudding, for that matter, although I have no idea what that is made from.

Hmm, can't see the plate very clearly. I would expect France or Germany or somewhere similar but lets be whacky... Bristol?
