I flagged up this nice example for sale a month or two back at £3½K. If it's as nice as this one that's probably what you're looking at top end. Pretty rare, seems a shame to muck about with it; www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1051083

Its the same one. I bought it. Have been busy replacing/repairing and is now as good as. I was thinking of replacing the complete clutch with a heavy duty one as it judders now and then. I also have a load of genuine spares to go with it.

Its the same one. I bought it. I could see that! You paid a fair price, prices are probably on the descent, you've ironed out a few niggles so probably not much profit in this.

Truth be told,I've wanted a montrose since around 1986. I first saw one when I was on the top deck of a double decker, front seat and there was one right in front of the bus. Birds eye view and I wanted one. Anyway, turns out, first car I bought was a 1977 Triumph 2500 for £25.00 and I was hooked. I've owned about 20. I have been restoring one since 2012 and need to get it finished. Small fortune spent. The Triumph needs the garage and I just cant leave the Mazda outside through winter. On top of that, the engine transplant I wanted to do fell through. I'm not in it for profit.

Very cool car, I’ve always liked them. Purely because I live about 20mins from Montrose.😬

Most old cars are money pits, let's face it, most of us aren't in it to make money, (although when it happens it feels good). Very fond of Triumph 2000/2500 but bonkers about the estate version. This Mazda is pretty special, (the reason I flagged it up when it was for sale).
