1989 Rover - Austin Montego L review from UK and Ireland
"Responds very well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In general the vehicle has been perfect except from the gear box (which broke up), but it's now all perfect plus I've had a new clutch fitted as well as another gearbox.
General comments?
When driving the vehicle it's a pleasure to drive it also has a great performance,and a good view. Relatively comfortable when sitting on front seats, rear seats are mediocre.
In general drives very well, a strong recommendation - forget your XR3s and XR2s, it has strong performance. Insurance is not very cheap though worth while, you can pick them up reasonably cheaply these days. It would take £1,000 to sell my pride and joy.
