Some parts in particular are definitely only to be found on
the MG Montego. For example the voice synthesiser. Yes,
the 'monty no-go' (as some called it in the UK due to its
reputation for reliability trouble) had a nice synth with a lady's
voice to remind you that your headlights were on, doors were
open etc.
We had one of these in the 80's, and took the *$£$!* fuse out
because the voice was so annoying. Montego Turbos were
damn quick cars though. They are almost certain to become a
classic......because there weren't many around and they rust
like you wouldn't believe.
