Looking forward to see what you have for this one Jeff!

As found

Only done 608 miles since Ed bought it in 2010 and only 2 miles since its last MOT in 2013. And only 609 miles since 1998.
Needs a few bits done but nothing I can't fix, looking forward to this mini project.

Jeff, I'm chuffed to bits that you've taken this on. Glad it's back under the radar again.

Needs rear suspension top bushes, centre consol gaiter has come away, although I have spare centre consols they're all grey and glueing rarely fixes it permanently, sunroof is clicking and gets stuck when opened or closed but I think that's just a loose screw.
Starting up and running rough but hopefully an easy fix
Minor nsr arch surface rust that I will have done, tiny bit of surface rust under the rear nrs quarter window but no other rust anywhere on the car, no MOT but shouldn't be a problem once I change the bushes.
Seats need a clean but overall I like the car, not sure yet about the power of a 1.6 Montego compared to my others but see how it goes.
Will just be a show car I should think as the cars is in vgc

Power i found ok until you have a full load and you want to go up a long hill
