Hi everyone - just joined the club I think (“subscribed” anyway). Been a keen Montego fan since the family’s brand new MG EFI turned up in dazzling white in 1987. Keen to keep my eyes open into the future to own a similar car again. Cheers, Matthew

Welcome. I do know of a lovely facelift MG Montego in white that's for sale if you're interested, not cheap but been restored to a high degree I might add

Thanks Jeff. Sorry for the slow response! If it’s even possible I’d really like a 1986-87 spec car (D/E reg) with the “Tron” red grid background dashboard and hidden fan switch! I appreciate I may have to be flexible owing to the cars being rare.

I can’t decide if I want a daily driver, show car or full restoration project - my normal route to falling in love with a car!

If you’ve a link to an advert I’d never say never!

I’d also possibly consider an Advantage (but I think they are down on power from the MGs) , a 2.0Si and could even be potentially tempted by a Mayfair.

There is only one Montego Advantage know to be on the road, my old green car and yes way down on power as they use a carb. Si again only one known. Mayfair you maybe luckier with depending on if your after a 1.6 or 2.0L.
I have a link to the facebook page and this is the car, not sure if you can see this link though https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid...306744&__cft__[0]=AZVVzphSy8rG77sgldOxxKvd6o1u2B1bxzJXJsCbErH3GF6sl _vk9qCSf-jc122holgkj7shJlDyEP1OL3MDV3nST-YfN3Peum9W24rAWikomU5amuw-svmqg8WNVNyqNd3QiF_WmkUjKtNFotijSYFu&__tn__=*bH-R

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately the link doesn’t work. I’m busily saving cash by flogging old XR3 parts from the garage so hoping to keep an eye out and find a car that interests me over the coming year or so which I hope won’t then cost me too much! Sounds like the EFI makes a big difference from your comment. Always thought the Advantage looked great - I suppose they didn’t want it to steal sales from the MG.

I think the link will only work if you are on facebook, but I've copied the picture so you can see what it lookslike, as Jeff says, a very nice car..

Looks lovely - must be one of the last ones on an H plate?
