    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... :eek:

    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 ::love::

    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 :whistling:

    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 _20161015_134138.JPG _20161015_134206.JPG

    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.
