Launched six months after the saloon at the British Motor Show in October 1984, the Montego estate was a whole lot better looking than the car it was based upon. With its large glass area and low waistline, the Montego was a smart machine in load-lugging guise; and with its rear-facing extra bench, it was even an occasional seven-seater.
