MG montego turbo 4 sale on e-bay

[Ed]

"The geat white" looks well nice whats left to do on that?? Is that the one u will be driving around in?I wouldnt know which one to pick??So when they are all done up what are u going to do with them all? keep them? sell them?

The Great White looks nice on the surface, but underneath is a different story. I am the second owner of the car and its previous owner was a bodyshop in Dorset who had it from new. It would appear that they spent a lot of time caring for the visable bodywork but very little underneath! Its needs extensive welding in the usual places, sills, inner arches etc, but it has a mint interior and goes like absolute stink! Hoping to have the car welded up for the summer.

The only full time car I will drive will be the Countryman as its the best all-rounder. The Turbos are play things really. Out of all my fleet, I am keeping my silver Monty HL, great white and C666 "the devil", as sadly I am being forced to cut down the numbers.

I just can't wait to get one of the Turbos on the road... vroooooooom, tuuuuuusshhhhhhh! vrooooooooooooom, tuuuuuuuuusssssssshhhh! :laugh:

Blimey, thats an impressive range of Montys in your signature! I used to have a GTi Estate, and it rocked!

I think my GTi may have been in a back issue of Monstro some years ago, it was in an article about cape to cape challenge 2000. It had MG badges and fully colour coded MG bumpers.
It has been standing for some time now. also has 16" MGF alloys, lowered and st.stl exhaust system..... was an excelent track car.
My 1.6L features on the home page, where theres a picture of a group of Montys and Maestros, mine is the 2 tone white monty. It was taken at the BMC/BL rally in Peterbourogh a few years back (nearly 4 years infact).
Attached is a pic of my 2.0LXi Estate......35k miles, one previous owner...

I remember your car. I read about it and saw it at MG M one year. Nice car!

Unfortunatly its been layed up too long now..... not sure it will ever live again.

It must! I remember drooling over that car! lol

[monty_estates]

Unfortunatly it needs a lot of work.... where did you get your body repairs done?

Last time I looked it needed:

- Rear section of roof rusty, needs new bit
- Both sill replacing
- Both rear arches replacing
- Tailgate
- All doors
- Head lining

And now probably alot more. Where are you in Suffolk, can't be too far from me. I'm in Herts.

Thats sad, it was so hot when I last saw it. I got my Countryman bodywork done at GKAutoworks . Gareth who owns it is based in Suffolk so not too far from me. I hover between Ipswich and Manningtree. I have cars stored in both.

Whats the pricing like?

the 1.6L is near perfect, just needs 2 arches to be perfect.
The LXi just needs a little hole reparing on the nearside joint from sill to arch.

Very reasonable prices and you will not get the care and attention to detail from any other restoration company. My Countrymans rear arches were offensive when I first got it. A spell with GK and you would never believe they weren't the originals... absolutely flawless, and no, he's not paying me to say that! I can put you in touch if you like?

[monty_estates]

I found an email address for him on a google search (was in an AutoExpress article about Chinesse Maestros). But if you are able to give me any other details that would be good.

The idea of scrapping the GTi is not totally bad news, I can use some items on the LXi (i.e, PAS), and at least it will die in good hands so to speak.

I have some other mods I want to do on the LXi which could be done at same time as hole in sill (fit VDP bumper with head lamp washers, plus MG front airdam), colour code rubbing stripes, Silver roof rails from VDP.....the list goes on

I think there is also a link for him in the recommended links and traders section. We, (me and Skatiechik), had some touching up done on the VDP by him and posted some pics up of the work. I'd happily go back there and probably will in future.

The paintwork and rear arches for this new red Turbo will be sent to GK. As I'm currently being taught how to weld, I should be able to do some of the less visable work myself now.
