That's an MG XPower SV, they were produced in very low numbers, under 100 I think. The Dealer where I bought my Triumph Spitfire had one for sale. Claimed it was one of three in Germany and was asking around 180k euros for it... 馃槻
Spot on!
The owner of this one said it was chassis number 59 of 84 made.
Supposedly also the final nail in the MG coffin.

The modern Chinese made MG (Modern Gentleman) cars. I suggest something sadly lacking for an MG aficionado? Has anybody actually seen one?

Sacrilege to a great name, enjoyed several MGB's in my younger days, probably the most recognisable exhaust tone of any vehicle of the time and overdrive on third and fourth 馃グ

Cool!
Did you get to test it?

Much rather get my hands on an all original chrome bumper MGB, minus the often seen bodywork crack running from the quarter lights due to the the overweight doors. British engineering 馃槜

Edit, dug out this old image of my first from 1969

My neighbor has a perfect MGC 1969 roadster for sale.
He owns a vintage car service garage, specialising in MG, so it has been more than pampered with.
LHD so it will be perfect as a trailer car behind your motor home across Europe!

Once had a drive of an MGC that had been track prepared, boy that was pretty brisk for the time.

That is a rather good looking bum. However if she would like a exceptional ass. Give the boys over at Bisimoto a call

Lots of great cars at today's Caffeine & Exotics.... 50+ Porsche, an equal number of Ferarris, plenty of Lambos, and everthingmfrom Fiskar to Vipers, and even the new Maserati SUV ... a sampling...

Most expensive ... McClaren P1

Got to drive one of these... not on the track though.馃檨


A bike or two... this was more a work of art than practical for street use...

Of course some American muscle...


And my favorite...

I totally agree!
Was browsing only the images, and the last two was the ones I stopped and studied.
What a great looking icon!

Got her ready for winter storage. But will take her out on some cold but hopefully sunny and dry winter days.

Is that the Forth Bridge?

Did you ever get it all painted?

When we were there in 2008, we were told that when they find sh painting the Forth bridge, they automatically start over again. The Forth bridge is expected to still be in operation when the new bridge is rendered as unsafe!
