Turbocharged Trailblazer (1985)

Ultra‑Rare Digital Dash Variant
A limited MG Montego EFi equipped with a digital instrument cluster has become an ultra‑rare find, noted as being scarcer than the already uncommon MG Maestro 1600. Enthusiasts prize this version for its distinctive electronic dash styling.
Final Production Years and Discontinuation
Montego production continued at the Cowley plant until late 1994, when the model was discontinued alongside the Maestro. The last batches of Montego saloons were primarily sold to fleet customers before the line was ended.
