Looks like one I was keeping my beadies on ;D
Top car - very under-rated.
Excellent modded one in Retro(ahem) May2005

Nice motor. Still wouldn't mind an MG Maestro although I'd be quite happy with an Efi.

Love it mate, my brother-in-law had a radient red one, very nice car if kept in good condition.
BRG is the colour to find only a few made.

Only 505 made in entirity so no colour is exactly common. Whites and reds do seem er, less rare though!
But, I reckon Montego Turbos are dying at such a rate that the more-cherished Maestro Turbos will end up out numbering them.

Hey thats niiiice, my favourite colour for MG's.... white is sooo 80's  Are you tempted by the good old T16 conversion or are you keeping her fairly origional? |

white is actually the rarest of the turbo colours, didn't buy it off ebay, a mate who already had one bought it to restore.
no t16 power for this one, its my only car so it has to be reliable.
too rare to really curse word around with. i think there are less than 100 left on the road. many were stripped for parts as when tickford finished the build run they scrapped the moulds for the bodykit and bumpers.
had 2.0i's and mg metros, and about 20ish minis before this, so i may be a bit BL obsessesed. i can remember one sitting in my local dealers showroom in 1989 , and it went from there. whether it survived or not i don't know, yhey do crop up now and again in peoples sheds ;D
