Star Wars Fanatic 2006-12-18 23:38	This car almost got away unscaved, until Jeremy ponders on the realisation that he hasn't fulfilled the tradition of destroying "some kind of awful car". At the start, this car is used to demosntrate the handbrake turn as Jeremy attempts but fails at this technique, resulting in it bashing against the cars it is supposed to park in between. Later, the previously featured Vauxhall Nova "parks" itself onto it after doing a 2 wheel stunt, but the Montego finally meets its demise to a truck as it ploughs into it - unfortunately however this is one of my least favourite of his destruction acts, simply because it is abundantly clear that the car was split in half at a previous time before impact.

Star Wars Fanatic 2006-12-19 11:30	If they did, it was not shown...
G-MANN 2006-12-19 13:14	This time they picked a car that really deserved to be destroyed.
banger134 2006-12-19 17:25	The car is white not blue as it's not the 86 d plate montego the plates say it should be but a later 90-95 rover montego
Weasel1984 2007-10-24 19:56	Indeed, fake plates - '89 model. -- Last edit: 2007-10-25 18:48:21
MF 2007-11-12 02:05	Hey! In mid '80s Montego was a dignified car! I liked it!
CrazyCars 2007-12-29 16:59	I like this car too

Kowalski 2008-03-27 15:03	CrazyCars wrote I like this car too Of the 436.000 Montegos sold, there are only 9.000 left on the road. I guess the other 427.000 Ex-Montego owners don't agree with you.
antp 2008-03-27 17:38	There are probably few of these cars which broke down (I also like the style of that car ) -- Last edit: 2008-03-27 17:38:48
tali 2008-03-27 21:43	It was the 8th most scrapped car in UK.Rarest variant today is a 2.0HLS estate.
ecclefechan 2008-06-03 11:17	I don't find it horrible, but like most BL/Austin/Rover cars it suffered from poor build quality, relability issues and generally had an image of being dull. It wasn't the butt of jokes in the same vein as the likes of Ladas, Skodas and Yugos, but due to its less than desirable image, depreciation was high which do doubt also attributed to the large amount of them being scrapped. Oddly though, Jeremy doesn't actually make any comments on the Montego itself in this. He attempts various stunts in it which were performed in a 1980's advert for the Montego, but at the end he realises that he hasn't destroyed anything, so the completely fake truck smash on the Montego is performed.
