Ive had a montego turbo and i would hasten a guess that they are faster than the 0-60mph states.

Ive been in a sierra cosworth and my old montego was easily as quick. You have to remember that the montego weighed nothing compared to the sierra.

I have some old booklets on the montego turbo and they certainly are a car that would appeal to me again in the future

Reminds me of my Montego Vanden Plas, I loved that car a great ride.

I had a BRG 2.0 GTi that i loved - sadly the body let it down but i still thought it was a great car.

Agreed - I had a red 2.0 EFi, I literally watched it disintegrate over winter!

Back in my MGB days, I was having some work done and the garage lent me a MG Maestro that they had taken as a part ex.
Ended up buying it

It was meant to be a stop-gap, but it was a great car.
OK, no street cred, as it had the special lightweight bodywork (using rust to enhance the power to weight ratio

)
I was sad to see it go, someone stole it off the drive when on holiday

In 2010 my nephew had a red Montego Turbo that his wife just had to have then didn't like. he had an awful job selling it again and it was in nice condition too. I did briefly think about trying to get it off him but that's as far as it went....................................... thinking about it.
