Montego Countryman, Perkins Prima - most likely for sale!

[Jeff Turbo]

Not a Countryman though, a DSLX estate so a bit rarer

[Morris Montego]

Indeed, he initially said Countryman, it having seven seats. However, I soon saw "no wood inserts" , noted the upholstery and then saw the badging.....

....or, did I assume

I'm in a mad rush......but quickly spoken to Craig at the garage who now has the car (ARS Ltd - no 'E' ) - He too reckons Johnny's diagnosis could well be correct - "Smoke could be due to being driven too carefully, soot builds up in the exhaust, then gets blown out on the full throttle emissions test" ........and MOT tester wrong.

I too wondered how the hell did it pass previous test - rear of o/s sill had actual rot holes. Not a bad jacking issue.

Re Jacking issue looking at MOT history on 14th September 2022 there was this see below;

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

• Nearside Outer sill damaged through jacking
• Offside outer sill has damage trhough jacking

The offside rear rot looks to have been tackled before with filler but has spread either side of said filler. It will be a shame if this one isn't saved. Good spot Morris Montego It look worse than it is methinks. By the way there is this on Car & Classic for the same price as the repairs to M62. Slightly more miles though.

think this Montego is on this forum somewhere.

Wow, zephyr, M285 HTT is a great car!!!

An update on M62 XCM.....the owner's son rang me, and he tells me the car is now stored on his driveway - far better than the back alley by the garage.

I told him of the comments made here.

He also seems to think its registration number may be worth a few hundred quid. A personal plate reflecting its time spent on the M62 it seems.

I briefly saw M62 XCM parked in it's safer spot today


Incidentally, whilst viewing it, with its spare wheel out of the well, I saw the seat belt buckles for the occasional seat sat bottom of the well. "Oh!", I thought, "that's where mine are! "......and indeed they were. Now held in place again by the fabric loop
