Did anyone go to the Motorsport Show At the NEC in Birmingham?
 
Did anyone go to the Motorsport Show At the NEC in Birmingham on the Sat 12th, Sun 13th?
I went on the saturday and would reccommend it to anybody for next year.
Here are a couple MG SV's and a rally ZR that were at the show. I saw 3 SV's all together at the show. The silver SV was registered on a 57 plate, you can just see it in the pic... See below....

Thats because they are back in production. Names are being taken for the next run. The red one next to it had a Roushe supercharger in it.

Who is making the new SV's then? I did see the roush supercharged engine in the red one..

The cars are being assembled by William Riley (of the Riley car family) and his crew. The silver SV at the show has a one-off polished silver rear spoiler that was made for the SV that was intended to be in the film 'Run'.

I don't suppose anyone got the build number (last 3 digits of the VIN) for the silver car?

I had a word with the old guy sitting down in that first pic with the silver sv he told me there building them again and are doing 4 a month at the moment .He said the company had bought the rights to the mg xpower sport and racing brand i also asked him how can he use the mg name now its owned by nac he said to me that mg and mg xpower is different although both were owned by mgr and the chinese only wanted the mg name not the mg xpower name . There also still going for around the 70k mark at the moment but he did say they were going to stop doing the bodys in carbon firbe as there a pain to work with and there hoping to do an all alloy body in the future and also try to lower the price to around the 50k mark

Yeah I tried chatting with him but some really pretentious **** in a ferrari T-Shirt was talking crap at him and I had to chip off. Any idea if they are going to make tuning parts again or just the SV

ian zs180 14-01-08 10:12 PM

i dont mate if there gona make tuning parts again all i asked about was the sv being back in production

Mat C 14-01-08 10:33 PM

I wasn't aware that Xpower ever made any tuning parts for the Zed range ? I thought they were all manufactured by other companys and just endorsed by MG Xpower ? Case being, Xpower exhausts = Janspeed. Xpower lowering springs = Eibach, which means they have always been available, just without the Xpower packaging/branding ?
