1990 Rover - Austin Montego MG review from UK and Ireland
"Fast and cheap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New valves and head reground at 100,000 miles, brake discs and fluid needed replacing, various other minor bits and pieces you'd expect from a car of this age, otherwise just rust, rust and more rust!
General comments?
It's got a poor image, but it's a great car to drive and a real GTi beater - and it's well equipped too. The only downside is that it seems prone to rust - but in the 50,000+ miles I had it, it never let me down.
