The headlight is above the "R" and the start of the Grill is over the "O".

That's all I needed to ID the car!

really??? play with the contrast on your monitor.

I can see a bit of a car that looks like a MG SV.

agree with you now! Contrast had to be turned right up to see it!

Actually, I'm on a different PC now and I can see Flop-All!!

But, it's great news! An SV in next year's BGT! can only be a good thing!

The MG-SV reminds me of an Audi TT

similar "I wonder what this is" posts are appearing elsewhere too - good ploy.

The MG is not remotely like an Audi TT in any way, shape or powerplant.

I'd love to see it racing!

Just a thought, is the SV homologated? Are MG actively pushing them for sale through the dealer network? (Can they afford to??)

Be nice to see the SV in BGT next year, as long as it doesn't turn into a well promoted flop, a la the Monaro

Was there a race after Brands then? At the end of the year it was capable of beating all the Cup cars, but it was still some considerable way off the majority of the N-GTs.

It needs another year, at least - and a considerable diet. I hope the team has the enthusiasm to carry on.

Yeah, Granted! But it made massive progress, I dunno how far they are from hitting thier potential, but if you look at how far they've come and consider that they had a road car in April and most cars in the series are "out of the box" race cars... Like TVR T400Rs

True enough, they did move the car a long way forward.

Yes, compared to a TVR it is undoubtedly nearer to a genuine road car - but then again it has also had considerable resources behind it.

It's okay, at Eclipse we all have a good sense of humour, which is fortunate when you consider the season we've had....

How come they had so much trouble with the engine? The Corvettes, Mosler and Ultima all run the same engine, and they had barely and trouble at all.
