Are MG going to put V8's in their estate versions or just the saloons?

Both i believe - incidently a positive ID of a V8 saloon has been given by a friend of mine.

It was gold, similar in outside appearance to current saloon but with twin pipes and obvious rear diff....

It also was driving down the M6 at a rate that my mate in his ZT160 could hardly keep up with although i believe some sort of *playing* was done by the drivers of both cars as my mate was desperately trying to get a look at this car..!

So they are out there...!

Actually, both V8's I saw were ZT-T's distinguishable by their twin set of double exhausts and rear differential. Both Had personal MG numbers which apparently belong to senior executives at MGR. The normally aspirated V8 (approx 260bhp) shuold be out later this year. Both cars had a little 260 badge on the bootlid.

HTH.

Rumour was around the £28k-£30k mark for the 260, maybe less. However the SV (320hp) was rumoured at £65k and is now quoted as £75k. So this £28-30k is only a guess on the part of journos, I think!
