What the MG TF should have become

If only they had done a tamed down version for the road..

My next modding project perhaps ?

Christ on a bike that's horrid! I think it could be just the gash decals that do it though - it'd be interesting to see it in a different colour with no decals.

Perhaps if they had not spent all their money on building race cars and race event hospitality the brand might still be alive...

I think the root of their troubles went a little deeper than that. The catalogue of missed opportunities that stretches right from the pre-BL days is just staggering.

Perhaps if the greedy scum company directors hadn't filled their pockets the brand might still be alive.

Same as the ZT385 then.

I think thats kinda what I meant, they were living the life of riley and leeching the company dry when they were supposed to be re-invogorating it

And again....Rover were dead long before the Phoenix mob took over. The body just hadn't stopped twitching yet.

I dunno, lose the ott vents in the bonnet and a less extreme rear wing, detune to300 bhp and I'd have one

Anyone fancy photoshopping it ?

Perhaps if the greedy scum company created decent cars that didn't break down all the time, perhaps the brand would still be alive.

I don't know what to say about this car. As a TF it is hopeless because of the hard top being on when it doesn't look to be raining. I think that car looks fab as a race/track car when you can get away with the over the top styling but if it was a road car with the vents/arches/wing it would be very max power.

Incidentally it had a Cosworth Engine in the back I think and was sold for £16k in the auction when MG closed.
Now it is for sale for more money http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing/19457/MG_XPower_TF500.html but obviously we do not know what state it was in for the MG auction!
