I must say old chap, you are a tad odd. No offence like!

I learnt to drive in my dad's Montego 1.6L - I loved that car! For years I lusted after the MG Montego 2.0 and Turbo!

Brings back memories.

I drove a black 216SE for a weekend once. When turning right at junctions the front end felt awfully heavy. It also had this endearing habit of getting the hiccups.

There's something weirdly appealing about these cars...

Living the dream!

The weight of that back box on the countryman seems to be pulling the back down...

the 216 had the S-series and 213 had the much better smoother honda engine

Yes, and IIRC was as quick? A far superior car.

Nope nope nope.

The Honda engine was smoother - but the S-series was more economical (despite being 200cc's bigger) and alot faster.

That looks pretty tidy. I bet that's another car you got for nowt?! Good luck with it. Hey, by the way, how did the pics of my car at saloon day come out? If any good post them up on my thread in readers cars 'MG Montego Turbo'. My pics don't do the car justice, but your's might! (You had a decent camera on the day!)

Anyone remember the poster ad from back in the day?

From left to right, a 216S, a 216 Vitesse, and a BMW 316, and written underneath was the tagline "Quick, Quick, Slow".

I think the Montego on the original alloys looks so much cooler.

Have to agree. Somehow the originals look bigger and more upmarket. However, the other car looks mint. Would be good if he could refurb the originals. Mind you, I've no room to talk! See my thread......'MG Montego Turbo'. I've gone a bit more extreme fitting 18"!

[maestego]

my montego was not washed for about 2 weeks when i went to the brit-cars meeting,its used every day and not stuck in a garage over winter as mine stay out side in all weathers and the mint looking one was quite few hrs polishing it.......today clean and polished it for the first time....
needs buffing now on the roof and on the middle of the bonnet as it very dull

Seriously though, this is what makes PH great. There are people with Veyrons, Lambo Reventons, and then we have people like you!
