Looks like it was used in rallycross at one time looking at this pic. Stars in the back window and stickers over the headlights

Ive always thought it was such a shame it was scrapped. Surely someone could have taken it over. Good bit of history that

I agree it's a shame it had to be THAT Montego but it's gone now.
Ambition to put a Skyline engine with running gear and reality are 2 different things.

Shame of it was, it was all in, mounted up. I can't remember about wiring etc. But physically was all there. Just a time issue I guess.

Would that be Gary Boxall?

Did'nt he move to New Zealand and continue to rally in a Monty?

Mal.

There have been two Montego estates in the MGOC championship in the past.

I believe someone was prepping a Montego saloon but IIRC the wiring loom caught fire and scuppered the project.

It's a shame about the Montego 6R4, a one off thats gone for good.

But maybe one day some one can do an exact copy of the original given time and cash.

Hi John - Yes, there was a Montego that rallied in the West Midland MC Championship. I think he was a Rover employee - his first name was Gary and he ran a Rover 216 afterwards. I remember him rallying in the West Mids cahmpionship. I'll have to try and thin of his name or go through some old regs. It was a Montego Saloon.
