Observe its beige beauty, luxuriate in its brown interior before charging down the road impelled by its 1300cc's of power!

Inspired by the thread of the £2500 restored Maestro this Leyland rarity has got to be a good buy with only 50000 miles and a long mot.

In all seriousness I rather like it, to the tune that Ive bid upto £500 on it.

Now in retrospect I've realised I dont actually need it and Ive a sneeky suspicion I might end up owning so PLEASE if theres any aspiring Montego owners out there get your bids in NOW!

Every year this happens due to boredom at work and Ebay roulette, going to close my account!

The Hammerite gold wheels really set it off

I think the gold wheels are a subtle hommage to that similarly sporting saloon the Impreza Turbo.

Tbh if I end up owning it its not the end of the world and I do like its base specness and the colours both inside and out.

I have a lads trip to Amshterdam in May,4 blokes in a Capri would be a tight squeeze so a Beige Montego could be the answer?

None the less,someone please outbid me!

Look on the bright side... you could have been drunk and bid on a Ford or a Vauxhall of the same era... shudder!

What's it worth to not bid £490 for it ;-)

A 1.3 Beige sounds like a limited edition biggrin Therefore, if you do win it, you might be lucky and find it's worth, oh, I don't know, say £550, in ten years time. Potential bargain smile

It's a 1.3 ? FFS are you mental?

In my very first proper job, our department had a 2.0 HL estate as a pool car (Ex managers car).

Once the wipers fell off whilst I drove it in the rain. It was a dog.

Don't waste your hard earned on that old wker!! There is no such thing as a 'lovely' Montego, they were garbage! That thing constitutes a skip on wheels! lol

This chap doesn't have a way with words but I'm afraid I have to agree with the sentiment of his missive.

Must admit until I saw that I didnt even realise they did a 1.3 Montego.

Acoording to howmanyleft a succesfull bid will see me owning 12.5% of all the remaining 1300s,factor in the beige and brown and its probably unique!

I inadvertantly purchased a Beige 1700l Ital a few years back,at least it had character,the Montegos sheer lack of that makes it oddly more appealing.

There might be some demand for such a car to appear in future TV dramas, set in the '80s or '90s.
