MOT tomorrow! Wish me luck. The car is in great shape. Only one minor flim-flam so far when a fuel pipe came undone but apart from that, the car's previous love and care really shows, just look at the wheel arch lips!

Looks good Ed, although I am neve sure if your fleet is getting bigger, or getting smaller !

BTW, are those rear arches still original ?

I'm officially off the wagon at the moment! :laugh:

Yep those arches are original. Apparently the car has hardly ever been wet and its arches, underside was hosed out weekly.

Lookin good Ed. Now you have fallen off the wagon (again), will you be purchasing many more rare Monty's?:laugh:

:laugh: It all depends on the model and condition. I'm still short by a nice MG but funds do not allow at the moment. Perhaps in the new year.

Very nice Ed!

I notice it is Mancester registered too ('VM') Do the numberplates name a Rover dealer? What do you know about its history?

Thanks Rich. Yes I believe that Jonathan had to get it registered after he bought it from Auction in 1996. I also have it original MOD reg mark which I will post up later when I can put my hands on the paperwork. I have loads of MOD sale paperwork and Rover Dealer paperwork. It has come with lots of old MOTs and service history so it is quite a nice little buy for very little money!

Looks like another cracking Monty Ed. Is it me or is it gagging for some 15x6 MG Monty cross-spokes

That has crossed my mind, aswell as a white MG boot spoiler and rear reflector panel? Any thought?

[G51 NAV]

yeah that would look the bog's dollox

Ed, I guess it also looks even better considering its 115,000 miles!!!

Yep, it certainly has absorbed its miles very well!

Wow thats looks wicked! and not a piece of "Orange-Peel" (rust) lol

BTW are those rear reading lights standard on late saloons, or were they an option?
