Looks and sounds epic. I'm not into MG or muscle cars, but that really floats my boat.

The rear, with the distinct lights, gives some TVR vibes as well.

Very interesting buy for someone. The apparent lack of a recent service and the mileage discrepancy after the first MoT may affect its appeal to some potential buyers.

Hi, I have a few questions.
Do you have any other serivce history other than the few piece that are shown? any any service history prior to your purchase?
Do you have any information on the vehicle and owenership before your ownership? I have read it was potentially a race/ track car and have seen a claim it may have been sold as front end damaged from MG S&R in 2005? Do you have any further information on this?

With thanks

Hi Ian/Roger
Yes I have a lot more service history since I have owned the vehicle, I have owned the car since 2007, in my ownership it has received more routine maintenance than miles travelled, I have taken a look at the mileage discrepancy and all the mileage stacks up in my ownership, the failing appears to be the Luffield service as I have 4 service documents from that visit inc the invoice and they all have different mileages on, so from that I can only surmise they made an admin error at that time, I hadnt noticed it before tbh.

The car was pre production car number 5, quite a famous car in the SV owners world, the car was driven by Tiff Needell and is featured on the promotional video being driven around Snetterton, this is where the car received a minor bump to the N/S/F wing I believe, this was all repaired correctly and was purely bodywork and as you can see from the pictures the repair has been carried out correctly and everything aligns and is finished correctly.
The Promotional DVD comes with the car and it is featured on there with this registration number.

The car drives and performs very well, it is currently in a workshop for a service and MOT and new battery. The car is for sale as I do not use it and have a collection of which I have decided to move a few on now.

Hope that answers your questions

Many thanks

I should just clarify - the car was not a track car or a race car, it was a pre production car and used for promotional purposes only.
