MG X80

The X80 was first introduced to the motoring public at the Frankfurt motor show in 2001. The X80 was described at the time as luxury high performance 2 + 2 coupe expected to compete directly with Porsche 911, Maserati 3200GT, and the Jaguar XK8. The car featured a 385 BHP 4.6 lire v8, electronic traction control, ABS brakes and. a super formed aluminium body mounted to steel box section chassis. Very clear styling cues evident in the MG TF  were taken forward from this vehicle. At the time the car was expected to retail in the UK at a staring price of £50,000. Sadly the financial storm clouds were gathering at MG Rover and this luxury MG never made it to the showroom in 2002 as planned.

MG SV

The SV is often described at the Ultimate MG and is undoubtedly a super car from what ever perspective it is viewed. The body is constructed from Carbon Fibre and features a full FIA roll cage. Power is derived from a Ford V8 engine delivering 320 - 400 BHP depending on the specification. Between 50 and 100 cars were sold many of which are in use as road cars. Would it fit in your garage
