£9K-£13K even with the 15% premium it's got to be worth more than that.

Very tempted, anyone have any garage space for rent in the Midlands?

There has been a red one up for about 11k for a while now, wonder if it's this one.

I think most people are put off by the Spica injection. Lovely car though and biblical sound.

It runs on very fine tolerances and they can sometimes require quite a bit of care. Parts are not particularly easy to come by.

I think some people just give up with the Spica and fit webers.

The Coys car looks very very good - it will sell for much more than 9-13k - there are a numnber of people in the market waiting for the right car...a metalllic green Monty sold for 17.5k in Jan - I guess the Coys car will go for similar money.

The 'orange' car in PH classifieds has been on the market for a while, and been a topic of discussion on the Montreal owners site.

The red Monttreal was sold at auction in Stoke in January, and now advertised for sale here.

My father used to have a brown one many years ago - all I remember was it breaking down every time he wanted to use it. Lovely looking car though.
