Very nice, like the boot lip spoiler, what part of France are you from?

thanks its made by formuling, not sure if it was actually produced for the car or another model, me and my 8 volkswagens, 3 horses, 3 kids, 2 dogs and a cat live currently in the charente near angouleme

Ah right, not been that far down in France for a long time, the nearest we've been is Oradour sur glane and the Dordogne region. I do know of another Montego in France

hi thanks, yes i've been to oradour a few times over the years, i know of 3 montego's around here but they are all estates, some more photos of mine

[Jeff Turbo]

One wouldn't happen to be Sam Polls estate would it?

i know someone called chris with 2 late estates, who im hoping to do a trade with, the other i'm not sure of the owners name but but was a L reg Red LX Estate, sadly not for sale, was giving it to his grandson to rag around the woods (will try again in a year or so lol)

Angouleme is beautiful, I worked 16 years for Emerson Electric we owned Leroy Somer, I visited and worked there quite a lot. Lovely Montego, enjoy !!

small world thanks

i also now have this one... it's green.

[Jeff Turbo]

Blimey, where did you find that? Plenty of cleaning needed there then

i had an advert up looking for montego parts, went to look at said parts but owner would only let the whole vehicle go, rather than type up a whole story i did blog post for it here

on another note, one hits 80,000kms with no issues, but the countryman has other ideas

[Jeff Turbo]

Interesting blog there, very good reading and I'm guessing your fixing the countryman?

[VWPowered]

not sure as its quiet far gone for me to simply fix and use daily, but its got some good parts (uncracked dash etc), its rarity here being the only one this colour is its saving grace, i've got the car now so feel no pressure to do anything immédiate, to be fair i'm just gathering as many parts as i can find around here before people bin them, however i may just be a guardian for the next few years until if i can find someone willing to take on a hard resto one day as the vehicle simply becomes rarer and rarer, its not under trees any more, the climate here is quite good which means covered over it shouldnt rust any more

guess what... his grandson crashed it, but its now mine, 1994 2.0 LXi 7 Seater
