would love to have a poke around at that G-series.. was supposed to be 150bhp off the bat while in this phase of development. with phase 2 at 170, then tinkeres getting a hell of a lot more!

I amanged 160 out the L-series, but i am not finsihed as i want more

Getting hold of the 16v head would enable so many more ponies for us lowly 8v users... would not need to go common rail like they did either as we dont care about emissions lool.

That instrument cluster looks very similar to the new TF one, albeit a Rover flavoured one. Imagine a MG version in black and you'll see what I mean. I assume the central screen is where the coolant warning etc. etc. is?

Might try to blag a closer look at this when I'm next at Longbridge.

I saw it when I went there a couple of times in August. It just pounds round the site all day.

Cool, they use in along with the MG Rexton, don't they? I'm a journo for MG Enthusiast amongst others, and I'm trying to arrange another trip to Longbridge.

The Rexton is now in the Desposal Yard with 4 Flat Tyres awaiting the Crusher

Its the longbridge security car. They used to use the S plate 75 that the 75/ZT club saved until the fuel pump died in it, then hey used the rexton and now that ZS.

Reason its got odd wheels is because they get that many puctures around the site its quicker to just pick up a new wheel out of storage and fit that than find someone to fit a new tyre.

IPK looks interesting though as it rover branded. Must of been the next dial set destined for the 45?
