I do believe you are correct as I remember trying to contact eaton superchargers at the time to get hold of a charger for my blue 180...
IIRC the reason the charger was removed was because there was some sort of agreement that eaton wouldn't make chargers for the KV6 after MGR went bust or something... but thats only from a vague memory fragment lol

Tell you what John... if you are ever down this way, or at an event that he is at, I'll introduce you to Andy who will spend hours talking to you about this car as if it was his own lol I think he thinks he knows more about the car than Ralph did

Well done on getting the zs-x, that is admirable determination and a great result for you and the car. Still looks as stunning as it did years ago, do you have a plan for it and it's twin?

I tried to find him at pol but I couldn't, only found his car... Would be great to chat to him.
I did talk to him on Facebook a while ago when I was trying to track it down.

Thanks :-)
The plans are to keep it as it is for now. It's how the story was laid out for it I guess.

It's proberbly that MGR owed Eaton money so they wanter to minimize their looses.

Pretty sure it was a 2.0 KV6 with the Eaton charger fitted.
