Scotland the What?

Some kind of Chinese copy of the Austin Montego, in fine running order no doubt. Truly the sun never sets on the British (Leyland) empire. :britain:



It's a copy of the Austin Maestro. The Montego was the next model up, with a proper boot...


Both had magical powers - the steel they were made of magically turned to rust within 3 days of manufacture. From 326,000 Maestros registered as paying road tax in 1995, there are now only 468 currently taxed on British roads. The Montego has fared even worse - from 234,000 chugging about in 1995, there are now only 105 examples currently road legal in the UK. (Source - http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk )

It's car-themed entertainment - if you don't like it/him/whatever, go watch something else...

Anyway, Clarkson evolved from this...
