What would you have, or want?

Hi All,

Heres a little bit of fun, but it could also help people find the cars they want. I guess that everyone must have a shortlist of Montegos or Maestros thay would like to own, and it would be interesting to find out what they are. I have 2 lists, The first are ones that I am actively looking out for (I had to list these for my wife incase I try and buy another model that I may not 'really' want, just because its cheap, or in good condition). The 2nd list is a consider list 'if' they happen to come up.

List 1 - Active list:

Montego 1.3 Saloon
Montego 2.0 Si Saloon
Montego 2.0 DL, DLX, DSL, DSLX or Countryman D Estate (pref is Countryman)
Montego 2.0 GSi Executive
Montego MG Turbo (1985 - 88)
Montego 2.0LXi / DLX (Spanish model with a/c - 1994/95)

List 2 - Would be considered:

Montego 1.6 Mayfair
Montego 2.0 VDP Efi
Maestro Van (to make a Monstro van)

[Ed]

My list would be:

Montego 2.0HL Saloon
Montego Advantage (BRG or Cherry red)
Montego VDP EFi Estate
Montego 2.0GTi saloon
Montego 2.0GSi saloon (exec or not)
Montego 2.0GSi Estate
MG Montego (2.0EFi or Turbo aslong as its not a shed)

My biggest "want" was Montego HLS but I have one now.

Interesting topic!

Up to buying my Moonraker Vanden Plas Maestro, I just wanted a high-spec model in a classy colour. What I found matched that criteria perfectly - and the condition of the car is also great.

It complements my first car in that I now have a Mark2 base model in a funky bright colour and also a Mark1.5 high-spec model in a gorgeous, more upmarket colour.

As it is, my fleet is pretty much perfect to me. In reality I cannot acquire another car to add to my collection as I do not have enough space, so anything I would like isn't achievable as yet.

Anyway, on my dream list, as far as Maestro's and Montego's go:

Maestro:

Vanden Plas, digidash model - Black
MG Turbo - Black (or Flame Red if it's as dribble-worthy as G51 NAV)
Ledbury - Blue or Black

Montego:

1.6HL - Not sure of the colours but something classy
MG 2.0 EFi - Moonraker Blue or Targa Red
LX (late model) - Black

Monstro:

Vanden Plas (hatch) - Oporto Red
Maestro Countryperson - Caribbean Blue

Oh and I wouldn't say 'no' to other BL tin such as Allegro VP in black or maybe an MG Metro 1300 in Silver.

Edit: Oooh, look what's on eBay... >Clicky<

Aye, that's the one I liked the look of. Good luck with that.

[monty_estates]

The trouble is, I bid on it before I gave my wife the list of approved models, so,

1. I will be in trouble if I win,
2. Luckily I only placed a £16 bid, so if you want it, bid £17 :-)

Would like a very late (H/J) OR very early (B/C) Maestro EFi/2.0i, totally mint, in either Targa Red, Flame Red or White Diamond. The lower the mileage the better. Must have PAS but leccy windows is not an issue.
