Austin Montego Mayfair 2.0 EFi (1988-94) Engine 1994cc S4 OC Production 546,000+ Registration Number E 505 MDD Designed and developed by Ian Beech, David Bache, Roger Tucker and Roy Axe originally under project number LC10 along with the Austin Maestro. The Montego emerged as BLs candidate for the volume saloon sales market, pitched against the Ford Cortina and Vauxhall Cavalier. The Montego was designed on conventional lines with steel spring suspension front and rear. Available with 1.3 BMC A series and 1.6, 2.0 and a lusty 2.0ltr Perkins Turbo Diesel. A roomy car with adequate performance from the larger engined cars. The range also included a roomy Estate version with larger luggage capacity than its competitors, two additional rear-facing child seats and self-levelling suspension, also styled by Roy Axe, followed shortly and received instant acclaim, winning the company a Design Council award Trim levels varied with this Mayfair edition being top of the line. Following a minor facelift in 1989 which introduced the seven seater Countryman and the Perkins Diesel engine to the line up the Austin name was dropped in favour of Rover. Though the car never wore the Rover name or badge, using instead a stylised badge resembling that of Rover. Shot 20.02.2011 at Gaydon Heritage Centre Car Park Ref 67-02 Please don
