WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Factory standard fitment to the 160 are 17-inch ‘Straights’ alloy wheels which are in pristine condition and shod in brand new premium quality Bridgestone 205/45 ZR17 tyres.

HISTORY FILE
This ultra-low mileage MG ZR 160 was registered new on the 19th September 2003 by supplying MG Rover Main Dealer, Caffyns PLC in East Sussex. The first owner was a lady who was bought the car by her husband and yet was reluctant to drive it as she found it too fast! The original vehicle order form and subsequent sales invoice have been kept and show a list price of £15,020.00 which has been altered with the quote ‘mega deal – £12,845.00’ which is the final invoice price! In September 2022 and when the odometer read just over 5,000 miles, the original lady owner gifted the car to her niece who has covered a fun filled further 6,000 miles. The large history file is neatly organised and includes welcome letters from the supplying dealer as well as a further letter following the collapse of MG Rover whereby the dealer assures the owner that they will honour the outstanding warranty in lew of the now defunct manufacturer warranty! There are service invoices dating back to the first in 2004 as well as all MOT records from the first in 2006. The original MG handbook/service book is present along with a ZR/ZS range brochure and MG Owners Club letters.

HISTORY FILE
This low mileage MG ZR was registered new on the 29th September 2001 by supplying MG Rover Main Dealer, Horner Eccles Ltd in Manchester and represents a very early pre-Project Drive example of the model. Project Drive was a cost cutting program implemented by MG Rover in late 2001/2002 that fixated on changes to trim, sound insulation and quality of some furnishings in order to save production costs and thankfully this example did not fall victim to any of these measures. Despite the low mileage, the car has benefitted from regular servicing and maintenance and there are 17 stamped entries in the service book, the most recent at 29,647 miles. A documented cambelt change was carried out in September 2023. The original MG handbook/service book along with a large files of service invoices form the full service history and every MOT certificate dating back to the first in 2004 fully verified the mileage at 30,501 miles.

KGF Classic Cars have sourced this stunning example from an enthusiast owner whereby the car was garaged alongside an MGB and Ford Escort RS2000. Very difficult to find in this condition and not to be confused with the majority of tired examples and ready to stand proud at any show.

A stonking MG XPower SV-R Supercar with a colossal history file and 11,630 miles.

MODEL HISTORY
An indulgent ‘halo’ model intended to resurge the MG brand under MG Sport & Racing Limited. Peter Stevens, world renowned designer and aerodynamicist responsible for the McLaren F1 hypercar, led the team. With experts and suppliers stretching the globe from chassis structure in Italy, carbon fibre materials in the Isle of Wright, engine builders in Detroit and final finishing and trimming at Longbridge, the thousand-mile production line was a logistical and technical challenge. A total of just 82 cars were made, of which only 42 being the more powerful SV-R. Customers including Rowan Atkinson were keen to experience this MG Supercar before the company entered administration on the 12th April 2005. Chassis #155 was first registered to MG Sports and Racing Ltd as a demonstrator and was the most expensive standard car on top of which the list of factory options is eye-watering!

EQUIPMENT
Front aerodynamic splitter, lateral rear air diffuser, green tinted glass, projector headlights, heated and folding door mirrors, electric seat height adjustment, integral roll cage, four-belt three-point harnesses with inertia reels and lock button, push-button start, analogue clock. Factory options; Kinetic paint finish, rear wing, carbon finish side vents, leather/Alcantara Recaro seats, sports suede MOMO steering wheel, carbon finish central fascia, climate control air-conditioning, Becker DTM TrafficPro Sat Nav, CD autochanger, footwell mats, warning triangle, Tracker.

EXTERIOR
Official MG SV Club records hold detailed particulars for chassis #155 including the original Red Hot Kinetic paint finish, (Code RH), a £2,000 factory cost option, as well as comprehensive factory options and first owner being MG Sports and Racing Ltd. This stunning original example has covered just 11,630 miles from new with a beautifully preserved finish partly owing to a bespoke Paintshield protection kit costing almost £1,900. Unprecedented at the time, this carbon-bodied car is completely smooth with a weave-free uniform gloss paint finish. The high-tensile steel chassis frame was crafted by Vaccari and Bosi in Modena Italy, the carbon fibre mat was made by Britain’s SP Group and constructed by Italy’s Belco Avia from 3,000 different pieces. The result, a complete shell weighing only 65kg and the entire vehicle having an unladen weight of just 1,500kg. In stark contrast and ridiculed as a result, are the Fiat Punto projector headlamps and Fiat Coupe circular rear lights embellished with chrome rings!

INTERIOR
Race style Recaro grabbing sports seats are finished in optional and expensive Oyster leather/Alcantara, (Code OY), the leather sections sourced from the Scottish Bridge of Weir tannery. Slight wear to the driver bolster does not detract from the overall excellent condition. Soft leather, Alcantara and wool coloured-keyed carpets specially dyed in Italy are immaculate. Carbon fibre is clearly visible in the cars structure and stainless-steel trims and carbon finish centre console complete the clean look and contrast beautifully against the green dial instruments. A high specification example to help justify the eye watering price tag when new!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Being the SV-R model, this example is fitted with the larger and more powerful 4996cc 385bhp Ford V8 quad-cam light alloy engine developed by tuning specialists Roush Industries. A burbling deep-chested exhaust rumble is intoxicating and immense fun. A massive history folder affirms the cars pampered existence which means this car goes as good as it looks! Perfectly suited to the V8 powerplant is the 4-speed dual-mode Ford automatic gearbox which helps propel the car from 0-60mph in 5.1 secs and a top speed of 175mph.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKE
Unique alloy MG-OZ 5-spoke 18″ wheels are wrapped in premium Michelin Pilot Sport tyres measuring 225/40 ZR18 front and 265/40 ZR18 fitted brand new in May 2022. One rear wheel has a minor rub to outer rim. Uprated Brembo discs and floating 4 pot brake callipers combined with Bosch ABS and electronic traction control allow for highly capable stopping power.

HISTORY FILE

An exclusive MG XPower SV-R Supercar with traceable history and just 9,464 miles.

MODEL HISTORY
An indulgent ‘halo’ model intended to resurge the MG brand under MG Sport & Racing Limited. Peter Stevens, world renowned designer and aerodynamicist responsible for the McLaren F1 hypercar, led the team. With experts and suppliers stretching the globe from chassis structure in Italy, carbon fibre materials in the Isle of Wright, engine builders in Detroit and final finishing and trimming at Longbridge, the thousand-mile production line was a logistical and technical challenge. A total of just 82 cars were made, of which only 42 being the more powerful SV-R. Customers including Rowan Atkinson were keen to experience this MG Supercar before the company entered administration on the 12th April 2005. Chassis #128 is the only car finished in Grigio Titanium and cost £91,525 new.

EQUIPMENT
Gunmetal finish side air vents, front aerodynamic splitter, lateral rear air diffuser, large rear wing spoiler, green tinted glass, projector headlights, heated and folding door mirrors, electric seat height/recline adjustment, leather steering wheeI with height adjustment, integral roll cage, four-belt three-point harnesses with inertia reels and lock button, lights-on and door-open buzzer, push-button start, analogue clock, cup holders, remote boot and fuel release. Factory options; Metallic paint finish, all-leather Recaro seats, heated and ventilated seats, climate control air-conditioning, Becker DTM TrafficPro Sat Nav, CD autochanger, Infinity six speaker upgrade, footwell mats X2, warning triangle.

EXTERIOR
Astonishing, imposing and incredibly rare, the MG XPower SV supercar is a sheer sensory hyperdrive. Club records inform this is the only example finished in cost optional Grigio Titanium, (Code T1) and being the more powerful SV-R model, it has the enhanced aerodynamic package including the imposing rear wing and gunmetal side air vents. Unprecedented at the time, this carbon-bodied car is completely smooth with a weave-free gloss paint finish. The high-tensile steel chassis frame was crafted by Vaccari and Bosi in Modena Italy, the carbon fibre mat was made by Britain’s SP Group and constructed by Italy’s Belco Avia from 3,000 different pieces. The result, a complete shell weighing only 65kg and the entire vehicle having an unladen weight of just 1,500kg. In stark contrast and ridiculed as a result, are the Fiat Punto projector headlamps and Fiat Coupe circular rear lights embellished with chrome rings!

INTERIOR
Race style Recaro grabbing sports seats are finished in optional and expensive Oyster leather, (Code OY), sourced from the Scottish Bridge of Weir tannery both with seat heating and cooling. Slight wear to the driver bolster does not detract from the overall excellent condition. Soft leather, alcantara and wool coloured-keyed carpets specially dyed in Italy are immaculate. Two sets of foot well mats are present. Carbon fibre is clearly visible in the cars structure and stainless steel trims and alloy centre console complete the clean look and contrast beautifully against the green dial instruments. A fully specified example to help justify the eye watering price tag when new!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Being the SV-R model this example it fitted with the larger more powerful 4996cc Ford V8 quad-cam light alloy engine developed by tuning specialists Roush Industries. A burbling deep-chested exhaust rumble is intoxicating and immense fun. Annual maintenance checks and MOT history means this car goes as good as it looks! The 5-speed Tremec gearbox helps propel the car from 0-60mph in 4.9 secs and a top speed of 175mph.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Unique alloy MG-OZ 5-spoke 18″ wheels are wrapped in the original and specially developed Michelin Sport tyres measuring 245/40 ZR18 front and 265/40 ZR18 at the rear with ample tread. One front wheel has a minor rub to the centre surface barely noticeable. Uprated Brembo discs and floating 4 pot brake calipers combined with Bosch ABS and electronic traction control for continual eye-popping stopping power!

HISTORY FILE
The intriguing MG XPower SV Supercar has already cemented its place in motoring history and with so few made this top specification SV-R with only 9,464 miles and fully traceable history deserves a place in any car collection. Registered on the 7 September 2004, the first registered owner was disgraced Phoenix Venture Holdings. Purchasing the Rover Group for a notional sum of £10 in May 2000 which then followed in the five executives involved taking £42m in pay, pensions and fast cars, before it collapsed in April 2005. Then purchased by serial car collector, Colin Faulkner via the Wyles Hardy & Co MG Sport & Racing liquidation sale when the car had covered just 2,879 miles. His other icons include the AC Cobra, Morgan V8 and Porsche 911 Turbo. In July 2008 the car was then sold to Brian Stymest who was adamant his chosen MG XPower must be the more powerful SV-R and a complete original factory built car. With assistance from the MG SV Owners Club this prime example was purchased and remained in his care for 12 years before being sold to his son-in-law in November 2020. With specialist invoices from Chiltern Aston, Luffield Service Centre and Redline American Muscle Garage along with annual MOT and service checks this example has full traceable history.

All handbooks, brochures, manuals and even Wyles Hardy auction cataloges remain in the neatly organised history file. An original spare parts catalogue and MG XPower SV book by David Knowles is included.

The MG RV8 was bought to fruition by Rover Special Projects team, a team of 30 planners, engineers and designers based at Gaydon, Rover’s test track in Warwickshire. Headed by RSP Director, Steve Schlemmer, the project was called Adder in recognition of the Anglo-American Cobra of the 60s, their objective was to recreate the MGB as it would have been had it never left production. Launched at the British Motor Show in 1992, the MG RV8 marked the welcome return of the MG sports car and the famous octagonal badge.

Afficionados will delight at the factory supplied and untouched MG toolkit complete and in the brown canvas tool roll. A beautifully traditional interior in outstanding preserved condition.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 3.9 litre V8 is extremely flexible with large reserves of torque and 190bhp giving effortless midrange overtaking. 0-60mph is despatched in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 135mph is quoted. The engine bay is spotlessly clean and factory original with all markings, plates and stickers present and bright. The V8 burble through the twin exhaust pipe is intoxicating. Fitted with the later R380 gearbox, (reverse below fifth), changes are reassuringly precise with a progressive light clutch action. Delightful.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Distinctive cast alloy 15x6J road wheels with mid Grey cross spoke sections are unmarked and still retain the MG centre security caps. The Zender split rim bolts have no corrosion and collectors will be delighted to see that the factory fitted 1994 date stamped Michelin Pilot HX 205/65 R15 tyres remain.

Servo assisted ventilated front disc brakes with 4-piston callipers and rear drums do an impressive job of bringing the vehicle to a safe halt.

HISTORY FILE
The MG RV8 was always destined to become a classic with just 1983 units made reviving a golden motoring repute and celebrating thirty years after the birth of the legendary MGB. This exceptional example spent eleven years with its sole Japanese owner who purchased the car new in 1995. Manufactured in June 1995, the vehicle was repatriated in 2006 with all importation documents and UK registration completed. The car was sold by a Hyundai Main Dealer, T. W. White & Sons of Weybridge, who imported the car from Japan. The first UK buyer was a Mr Maurice Amdur who is non other than a Physic and Clairvoyant to the Stars and for whom a quick search engine explore will reveals his close connection with countless A-List celebrities for many years! Mr Amdur never registered the car in his name and he owned for just two weeks. KGF Classic Cars contacted him to ask why he sold it so soon and he kindly replied in writing stating that he found himself too tall for the car and that it was an excellent car. He went on to say he believes it to be a mistake that he sold it and he would happily speak to a new owner to offer guidance on their future together! The car was subsequently sold to the only UK registered owner, Mr Noel, who has owned it since.

There is paperwork from when the car was in Japan with key information such as dates and mileage translated and there is also a photograph of the original speedometer clock from when the car left Japan displaying 669km/415 miles. The current odometer reads 404 miles totalling 820 miles from new! In August 2022 the car was subject to a full inspection, recommission and major service by classic cars specialists and is now ready to enjoy or preserve as the new owner wishes. Both sets of keys and code tags are present along with the book pack including the service book. An MG RV8 ‘The Marque has returned’ sales brochure is included and cherished registration E3MGR remains with the car. This stunning example is a must for anyone seeking a rare and collectors quality example of MG motoring history.
