I know not many people on here are MG/Rover fans but you've got to admit this is georgeous

Saw JC test one of these on Top Gear (can't remember which series but not the last one) - damn quick and great looking.

Have to say it is not my thing at all. Give me a Monaro instead.  8-)

Gotta admit, stylewise, that MG doesn't float my boat, neither does the Monaro...

Just been reading how poor old Irmscherkris is getting 22mpg from his diesel omega. The official fuel figures for the MG SV-R( 4996cc and 380bhp) is 20mpg ::)


Apparently not so frugal on nitrous ;D

Oh, yes, and you can pick a 2004 one up for a mere £46640. Bargain!

I know a prototype went for £6000 at auction not long ago although it was missing its engine and box I think it was a yankie V8 which should be quite easy to get hold of

I love my wifes 25 diesel. I have upped the boost and am going to remove the innards from the cat and fit an ITG air filter. There is a bloke on the MG/Rover forum that is testing a chip that will give a BHP hike to 145BHP and all that in a car that weighs about as much as a Jay cloth has got to be fun ;)
