1990 Rover Montego 2.0 DSL

1990 Rover Montego 2.0 DSL hackney carriage taxi in July 1993.

 

This one lasted just 8 years before it was scrapped at 230,000 miles in 1998.

 

The Perkins diesel engine and the interior trim quality were above average for the era in my opinion, but the transmission, suspension and general reliability of this Montego were truly shocking.
