Production Span Across Two Manufacturers
The Montego was produced by British Leyland from its debut in 1984 until 1988, after which Rover Group took over production until 1995. This decade‑long run saw the model transition from the Austin badge to the Rover name.
A Modest Start – Early Sales Figures
By the end of its launch year, 1984, the Montego had sold only 34,700 units, a figure described as disappointing at the time. This early sales performance set a challenging backdrop for the model’s later years.
Estate Version – A Long‑Running Success
The estate (station wagon) version of the Montego made its first appearance at the 1984 motor show. It quickly became the most successful Montego variant, maintaining popularity right up until the model’s final years.
