1990 Rover - Austin Montego LX review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent all rounder, and cheap to buy and run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad rust in rear wheel arches, right hand side doors and tailgate.
Right hand side front wheel bearings went.
Trouble with the left hand side rear suspension damper.
Usual things like tyres, exhaust etc.
General comments?
A good all round car, and really cheap to run.
Being an estate, it has been so versatile, especially when we moved house and crammed something like 30 boxes into it.
Basically, I love the car and certainly would not hesitate to buy another "Monty", especially the estate.
