1984 Rover - Austin Montego L review from UK and Ireland
"Not as bad as people would tell you!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new ECU and shock absorber, but the main problem is rust - around the wheel arches.
Also needed door & window seals, which are expensive.
General comments?
A surprisingly fast car for its size with a relatively small engine - beats Nova SRs!
Very high insurance though.
