Due to various circumstances the car is now not sold.

My green MG Montego has now been provisionally sold to a deserving new owner. Also my sons red MG Montego has also just been sold today as he has lost storage. 3 now sold. My MGZS180, my green MG Montego and my sons red MG Montego. 2 to go, my MGTF and my red MG Montego with digital dash and possibly lots of parts. This will pay for my French MG Montego Turbo to be done

Yes Jeff its all done, only need to somehow get this low biting point cured but the paintwork and a few mechanicals it needed are done and its now on the road! Drives like new! Ill be getting some pics up soon.

from memory
Low biting point is normally just a cable adjustment.
Take hold of the clutch arm and push down, rattle the cable a bit while down and it should reset

IIRC I nearly bought F83 back in 2009. Re the MG seats there is a guy in Southend breaking 2 MG Montego's, one a BRG Turbo & they had seats in & at least one was the later variety.

Thanks Andy but I don't need any seats
