I don't understand, this car has been out for almost twenty years and no one in America has reviewed it or even feature it on a TV show. From Doug Demuro to Jay Leno......no one?????
Yeah because it flopped and mg with it. I own an mgf and they should have just kept pumping those out. Best selling roadster in the UK and pisses all over the nasty mazda mx5. Shame mg has just become a badge for Chinese shite
This makes me sad. The level of production was not needed for this MG SV. product, they already had the ZT chassis and he got it to do 200+ mph. This car could have and should have been a ZT chassis track looking car for the road with a smaller price tag. Carbon fibre additions could have been dealt with by aftermarket companies for those that want a Track SV.
BL ....and then Rover had made crap parts bin cars for far to long . They sadly never kept up with other marks . To buy British ive had a marina , allegro and a mgf ....all crap compared to foreign cars of the same era
The parts manufacture and assembly transport logistics were madness 1400 kgs was actually heavy it was not pretty to look at amalgam of pressed steel and CF odd and awkward much inherited from the Mangusta none of it a good idea from the start and a huge price at the time.
Why heavy? A Mazda MX5 is 1200Kgr and it has a 4 cylinder engine. Also this is technically a 4 seat car (sort of) without back seats i.e it is physically bigger. A modern 911 is 1500+ Kgr again depending on the engine almost 20 years later.
My Delta integrale is 1400kg... sv is a much bigger car physically and engine is a v8 as opposed to my 4 cylinder..... I worked for SP on the development for SV... as drove a couple of finished cars.. I agree it was too expensive and build quality wasnt good enough for a 75k car... you could buy a 911 for same money..... but I dont think you could say it was heavy considering its size and spec.

I totally agree. What were they thinking?
There's so much marketing bullshit in this film, you could fertilize every field in the UK with it for 10 years.
Because BOMS. OTOH, this video... famous last words ?
Oh man...the Mangusta was a proper pig...the SV might not have been where it was at but it was much closer than the base car!
Spoiler alert lol these came with the ford mustang 4.6l 4v (mach 1) & the 4.6l 2v (gt) 😆
ROVER ENGINE X POWER
This MG X-Pover SV sounds modern even today but what went wrong that it dosen't came as popular as the owners wanted it to be?
Rover
all the big talk and ultimately it was a failure :(
Big talk and big money......a lot of boardroom wank, as the bread and butter withered on the vine.

Even the mgf?

Dare I mention the TVRs of the time had similar power but only weight at tonne and cost half the price?
De Tomaso NOT a MG.
