1986 Rover - Austin Montego review from Denmark
"Hurricane on wheels.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Due to an oil leak (caused by a worn rubber ring), the engine was re-built at 130.000 km.
A lot of rust work from 220.000 km and on and on...
General comments?
Very hard to get spare parts at all these days in Denmark.
Fantastic car - underestimated - think about building this car with today's technology. A dream within a dream...
