Following on from my Rover/MG thread somewhere below, I've been researching the MG variants of the 75.

There was apparently a 260+ (4.6 litre V8 derived from Ford Mustang). Is this the mad green/black one? Where these available to the public!? RWD? (u'd hope!)

Has anyone been in, own, or seen one!?

Thanks

They are RWD, and there were some sold. Avalible in pretty normal colours.

Looks like you can buy them from around £11,500

I have only ever seen one but they do exist. Cost Rover rather a lot of cash and was rather pointless but still gloriously hooliganlike

For the ultimate Q-Car they do a Rover 75 V8 as well.

It is a V8.

Its doesnt seem a lot of power generated from a 4.6 V8 tbh!

The guy (don't really know him that well) a couple of doors down from me just got rid of his, it was his company car and was in Standard MG Blue, lovely engine and exhaust note, remember him saying it was a stiff ride and that it handled like a dog. wasn't that fast too. Never got to sit in it but it did also look nice inside.

He has a M3 now courtesy of BP. :mad:

is this the one that was on top gear? Clarkson said the great thing about it was you never had to change gear... Sitting in 4th at 30 he went right up to a hundred i think pretty quickly, stopping at 50 and 70mph on the way up?
