Can any of you guys tell me the differences the MONTE's have to other esccos's?i know the wheels ,numbered,seats and gearknob, but are there any more?What makes them so special?

CheeRS

 

they have a different logo on the dash. and made in different colours. thats all i know. dont think the changes are that major.

 

Different seats, have thier build no. on the banana part of the dash where is usually says cosworth. Different gearknob, wheels. AFAIK 4 were big turbo models and the rest of the 100 were small turbo models.

 

is that all?Were they just in jewel violet and mallard?

 

No they come in Ash black aswell

 

just thought they be like the old rs 500, they had few tricks under the bonnet didnt they?

Thanks for the reply guys anyway!

 

You sure about that? I understood that 200 were produced, of which around 70 were right hand drive. Only 4 of them big turbo models? Well, that's one accounted for here

 

There's less small turbo monte's than large! There was very few, small turbo monte's possibly 10 or so.........

Max

 

That's what I was lead to believe

 

After consulting a few old mags heres what i found:

In one issue of Fastford it claimed 1000 if them were built and in another it said 200, but im pretty sure its 200 seeing as ive seen no. 147 before and in the banana there is only 3 digits.

They were available in Ash Black, Dual Violet and Mallard Green.

Karman built 200 of them, 70 of them RHD were offically sold in the UK, all in 1994.

 

anyone know any dual violet ones forsale???

 

its jewel violet by the way,if you hang on till next yr i might sell mine,lol

 

stunning mate

 

Don't think he'd be able to hang on though!! Would you not sell it earlier??!!

 

yer, 200 built 74 or 75 were RHD... I agree there are more Big turbo examles about than small, that is why they were produced, to deplete the Big Turbo shells AFAIK...

I know of a nice genuine Mallard example which will be available later this year, well in a couple of months
