1988 Rover - Austin Montego L review from UK and Ireland
"A damn good car for the price I paid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As most of the of the other comments, rear shockers and rust over the rear wheel arch and it needs patching up at the rear of the sills. Other than that, a damn good car for £300.
Just starting to have a problem with the cooling system, it is staying pressurised when cold.
General comments?
Is a very good car even though the name lets it down.
And it is a shame that the insurance is a bit expensive (group 11).
Otherwise very pleased with it, I find it good to drive and it handles well.
