Well done on the save - I think they deserve saving! I really like the way MG went about doing the Turbo, it always seems to me like a bunch of petrol heads got a Montego and thought "lets stick a turbo on it, that'll be fun!" and then went ahead and started selling them!  |

I used to laugh at these and their smaller sibling when I was at school, but I've grown up since then (only a little bit mind) and really really really want one now! I'd settle for a Maestro turbo tho Good save and the other one looks absolutely mint |

Love your turbo And good work saving one! Remember my uncle buying one of these brand new, metallic blue, it was a few days old and he took my dad for a spin and I went along for the ride! We got pulled over by the police, they were hiding up a side street! but all they were interested in was "what the hell is it?" (there words) ! lol They loved it! Then let us go! (when Police were less stringent! |

Glad to see another Monty turbo saved. Apparently there are fewer Monty turbos than Maestro turbos left. Mine is a BRG F reg.  |

Good save.
I had a D reg one in white in the early 90's. Loved it to bits. The torque steer would almost rip my arms out of their sockets when on boost ;D
