1987 Rover - Austin Montego review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Waterpump failed.
Central-locking failed.
Bodywork gradually failed.
Starter motor.
General comments?
This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails.
Someone prior to myself spent a lot of time on it -- it was a real license loser by the time I got it.
The only reason to sell it was because of the bodywork.
Recommended as a race project - very cheap to maintain.
