I had no idea MG made a V8 car. I always wanted a Sunbeam Tiger.

They also put a 3 litre 6 cylinder into the MGB base unit and called it the MGC.

As a lifelong Lotus enthusiast I will refrain from giving you my view on adding that much cast-iron in the front of a chassis that was outmoded on its announcement date. Oh, maybe I just did 😜

·Not our only car but one we’ve use for commuting and my son’s high school years. Comfortable and competent. Fun to drive and affordable. Mk7.5 GTI.
I'm getting the itch to get into a MK2. Maybe next year...

··London sunburst dial fanI have an 8.5 Golf which is lovely but I rather miss my 7.5 and was beautifully stylish.
Mine was at that juncture when likely service and repair costs were likely to increase inversely to the value of the vehicle declining.
Not mine but similar

·I miss my MK7. I was in a similar boat. I'd had it for 10 years and really had no intention of getting rid of it.
But one day I was at the dealer for service, and they had a white MK8 R on the floor.
Knowing it was going to be the last manual (for the foreseeable future) - I ended up getting it.
Here are the two of them together...

·Crazy good on the 4C (high 20s). On the C8, not that great. It gets amazing gas mileage on the highway (25+), but in town mixed driving is probably around 15-16mpg. It's been some time since I've checked it. Gas mileage goes noticeably down in the summer because I tend to put my foot down more and drive in Z performance mode where the shift points are higher and engine is tuned more aggressive. Now that the rain and cold is arriving I should start getting more MPG at the expense of fun.
