The rights to produce the SV are now owned by William Riley (a member of the Riley car family). He is (or was?) in negotiation with BMW to get the Riley name back, so that they could be produced under this name. I think that NAC objected to the use of the MG Sport & Racing name.

I would expect that the Riley SV will be pitched with a starting price around £50-60k. But this of course depends upon the specification. Will the car still have a carbon fibre body? Will it use a Ford engine? Who knows?
