Great to have an A-reg Monty with so little mileage. Our A-reg MG Maestro 1600 has been a fantastic car - it was a low mileage 1 owner car.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

It has to be said, that Montego looks brilliant. I'm quite jealous...
There again, I'm in too deep with my Monty to back out now! :laugh:

Very nice! It’s the same colour as my 1.3 Montego.
My car has the same colour interior too, and has the very same odd looking speaker covers on the front door.
It certainly gives me something to aim for. I would be happy indeed if my car looked like that next year.
Nice to see another early car finding its way into enthusiast’s hands.

right i did it as of yesterday A87 KLU passed her mot with flying colours with nothing needing doing what so ever even the 20 year old lower ball joints and track rod ends where ok as where the front wheel bearings and the emmisions where as low as low can be on a montego of her age. there was no need for welding as none has ever been done on her i am so please no all i gotta do is put her under cover and remove the rad and make a start on cleaning up teh few rusty bits she has got on her ready for next year and any show that is coming up.
