HISTORY历史
The Montego was the saloon version of the Maestro launched in 1984, a year after its hatchback counterpart.蒙特哥大师是球馆推出的版本在1984年一年后hatchback对应. Early Montegos (originally badged as Austins and MGs) were an embarrassment, plagued by unreliability and niggling faults.早期montegos(原先为austinsbadged、水杨酸镁)是尴尬,面对繁琐和可靠故障. Later models carried the Rover badge.随后进行罗孚徽章型号. As with so many Leyland/BL cars, the company eventually got the product right ?由于有这么多利兰/血液汽车公司终于产品吗? after it was too late to win most disgruntled customers back.经过为时已晚赢得大多数顾客回. But get it right they did and later models were very good - and British of course, from badge to bootlid.但是,后来却做到正确型号都很好,而英国当然从bootlid徽章.
Early on, there was a 1.3 but it wasn't popular and died in 1988 with a facelift that brought the Rover badge and smooth, rather than ribbed rear lights.早年,有1.3但不普及,死于1988年罗孚带来了新面貌,并顺利徽章、而非肋后方灯光. Better to go for a 1.6, which was offered with a bewildering variety of trim levels.好去作1.6,其中提供了品类修剪层次. You had Clubman, L, LX, HL, SL, SLX; all are now priced pretty much identically.你clubman、公升、lx、红莲、澳门、部位;所有正价相同不相上下. Estate buyers additionally had the Countryman estate with its extra row of rear facing child seats in the estate compartment.另外有劲敌地产地产置业与其子女外排座位后方正面地产车厢.
The 2.0-litre trim line-up was equally confusing and the used trade attaches equally little significance to it.<2.0公升浪列队用同样的贸易十分混乱,同样意义不大. Thus, you'll pay much the same whether you go for L, LX, LXi, SL, HL, SLX, SLXi, Si, GTi, Mayfair or GSi.因此,无论你付出多少,你走同一型,lx,六十一、澳门、红莲、胶囊、slxi、硅、粮农组织、美景或电喷. Interestingly, the identically engined MG Montego is often valued at less than the standard cars.有趣的是相同的引擎毫克蒙特哥价值往往低于标准车. The turbo version (which had so much torque steer it would almost swap lanes under heavy acceleration) is even less prized.<涡轮版(已这么扭矩带领下也几乎掉车道重型加速度)更珍贵.
Perhaps the best Montego derivative was the turbo diesel version launched with a British Perkins engine in 1988.也许是最好的蒙特哥衍生柴油涡轮引擎版本推出了1988英白. The estates are particularly well liked and are the only Montego variants that still fetch reasonable money on the used market.屋内特别喜爱和蒙特哥变,仍是唯一合理的价码就用金钱市场.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A lot of car for the money.许多车钱. Higher-spec models were quite well equipped with items such as power front windows, mirrors and sunroof and six-speaker sound systems.高光谱模型不错的项目,如电力战线装有视窗、镜子、天窗、6议长音响.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Of course you could pay very little and buy yourself a £50 wreck.当然你可以付很少英镑买了50年毁掉自己. Here, however, we're assuming that you want quality family motoring, in which case you should restrict your search to the last five years of production ?在这里,但是,我们假设你想驾驶品质家庭、在这种情况下,你应该限制你搜索的最后5年生产? 1990 to 1995.1990年至1995年. Even here, prices are on the cheap side of affordable with £1,000 being about the maximum you?d pay unless you come across a real beauty, which is highly unlikely.即使在价格低廉的同方负担约1000英镑的最高你?四除非你碰到一个真正付美容、这是极不可能的.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Early Montegos are trouble; the two-litre cars occasionally caught fire when a fuel line leaked.早期montegos是麻烦;两公升燃料车线时偶尔泄漏起火. Rust also gets early ones everywhere and late cars in the rear wheel arches.锈病也得到早期与晚期的车到处在后轮拱门. Plastic bumpers don?t take knocks and crack easily.塑料保险杠鲍思?笔轻易采取严厉磕磕碰碰. Watch for leaky cylinder head gaskets, cam and valve wear and check that the drivebelt has been replaced on schedule.观察漏缸盖垫圈、凸轮、气门磨损、厂房的drivebelt已如期更换. Earlier interiors fell apart quickly.早些时候腹地很快成行.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Appro based on a 1994 1.6 saloon) A clutch assembly is around £125, while a full exhaust system should be just under £290.(根据1994年6月1日球馆拨)离合器装配125英镑左右,同时应充分排气系统略低于290英镑. An alternator will be around £85 and new front brake pads about £65.发电机英镑左右的85岁,将新战线刹车皮约英镑65. A headlamp should be around £70, a radiator around £70 and a starter motor about £150.一英镑左右前照灯应该70左右的散热器了起动电机大约70英镑150英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Performance isn?t too bad and the two-litre model has lusty pulling power from low revs.肖国表现?笔太差,两公升lusty拉动力模型,从低摩擦. Handling is par for the contemporary course but the ride was always good.处理过程是为当代相提并论,但总是坐好. The diesel is loud and sometimes a bit smoky but quite economical.柴油车排放黑烟的声音有点但有时相当符合经济效益.
OVERALL 总体
The Montego can be a good buy - but you have to know what you're doing.蒙特哥可以好买,但你知道你在做什么. Buy as late a model and as low a mileage as you can afford, ask expert advice and you'll reap the benefits of its dowdy image by paying peanuts.买迟了示范和低你哩得起、请专家提供意见,你就会享受到自己付出花生dowdy形象.
