but to be fair it is 5 years older than me :D

Seems like it might need alot of work done to it but if you're good at diy could save alot of moneis £££  :smiley:

Would be a good project for someone.

I had an MG Maestro efi in black with black alloys, it went like the clappers and would see off a lot of other fast stuff on the roads of the day, unfortunatley it was made of soluble metal :sad:

Beast.  My parent's friends had one of these and I drove it shortly after I'd passed my test.  Went like a rocket, though you've got to bear in mind my daily motor was a MkII Escort 1.6

had a white montego turbo as a runner in the 90's, circa 96 - 97, paid £500 for it and it was pretty quick at the time, think from memory they were 150HP

Rust like fook tho, the one we had was rusty and that was back then and ours was a E or a F reg.. cant quite remember
