Show us your Maestro/Montego...

Ed,

As far I know, all the last MG Montegos were black and had geographical area CAC.

I nearly bought a white MG Monty a few years back which was a K*** CAC. Wish I had got it now, it was pretty mint.

Just out of curiosity, how many Montego Turbos were made? Don't think I've ever noticed one! In fact, I think I've only seen 1 MG Montego

Just over 7300 Montego Turbos were made. Survival rate is not as good as the Maestro Turbo as they were not exactly a "limited" run and many genuine Monty Turbos were destroyed to create fake Maestro Turbos. I also know loads were thrashed, stolen and burnt out.

[Guest]

Nice - Think The Gold May Have Looked Better , but You're car , Your Choice - Blooming Lovly Either Way Though!

[Beaker]

Blue is just as nice as the Gold, certainly a well looked after car. Shame it is no more The engine bay looks immaculate.

How long did you have a blue for, before you decided on a change of colour? Anymore piccies of the blue?

[B18 GPC]

By the wat , for got to say i like those bottles , and cam cover etc ,(the green bits) They are lovly! Where did you pick them up from ? or did you DIY ?

[Guest]

all the engine bay bits were rubbed down and painted in the green to match the pinstripe on doors/bumpers all DIY.well I'll have a go at anything to save money.

I've sort of decided on a colour for my new monty but its trying to find a nice colour to compliment it

I know I could take off the door strips and fill the bumpers but I think it can look a bit too much and another bit of colour just breaks up the door panels.plus they've saved the edge of the doors on more than one occasion.

[Guest]

For those of you who tend not to use the other "similar" forums I've been putting together another small website of my old car.

I will try to post some pics on here tomorrow of my new montego before I change it too much.

wow , nice site darren , a lot of work went into making that car perfect. where did you do the work ? a old fire station ? . do you still have the car ?

[Guest]

No fire engines I'm afraid,this was my hanger where all the armoured personnel carriers(APCs) were kept.

the pics show what type they were,point to note the monkeys were not in the ARMY they're some of our many soft toys.
