I have decided to offer Shantung Monty for sale. As much as I love the car's colour, styling, character and condition, I simply don't enjoy driving it anywhere near as much as my HL and it seems pointless to hang on to it just to look at it. My 2.0HL is really my ideal Monty (I've long given up trying to find a decent MG Montego that doesn't need a ground up resto) and is booked in for some bodywork later this month therefore now seems as good a time as any to attempt to find it a good home. I am in no hurry to sell, therefore I am determined to wait until a good new owner can be found to cherish and fettle this Montego as it deserves.
Most of you know the story. This Shantung Gold Monty was taken off the road in November 1998 after its MOT test and the car was not used again until I fired it up in June 2010. I hasn't been without its dramas but mechanically it is now all good although the autochoke does not operate and would really benefit from a manual choke being fitted by the next owner.
Bodywise it is almost perfect, which is the main reason I sought to bring the car into enthusiast ownership. The very rare Shantung Gold paintwork is very shiny and looks great. The only area of attention that the bodywork may need in the future is the passenger side rear arch which has had a touch-up at some point and may need a proper repair somewhere down the line. However, the sills, bonnet, front wings, petrol pocket, doors, bootlid, roof etc are all practically perfect.
The interior is caramel cloth and is in excellent condition. There are no cracks to the very rare caramel facsia and the roof lining has just been reupholstered by myself in the proper colour. All the seats and carpets are in brilliant condition.
The car has covered just over 50K miles and has MOT until June 2011 and tax until the end of Nov 2010.
I have spent A LOT of money on this car including purchase price (it was not cheap) and getting it up and running correctly. I am therefore advertising the car at £795.00 or very near offer. You really won't find much better, certainly in this colour combination. If it was a 2.0L, I wouldn't be selling it.
For any interested parties, please PM me to discuss. I have attached some pictures below:
