1988 Rover - Austin Montego MG review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap, reliable, well equipped performance saloon car which is worth a look"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much for a car of this age.
Needed a brake pipe and the oil pump was noisy.
General comments?
This car has always been a pleasure to drive and I have found it hard to find anything else in its class of the same age that is as fun.
It looks good in black and if looked after will keep going and going. Nowhere near as bad as a lot of people will try to tell you!
