Why would they want to relaunch a car that bombed in the first place?
Puppetland said:Please can you provide a source for saying it bombed? In actual fact you will find that PwC, the administrators did not initially wind up MG Sport and Racing the simple reason that the MG SV was making a profit! It was only wound up when the technology and MG brand were handed over to Nanjing. Will it reapear? Who knows? But if your in the market for a TVR type car then your better off with the SV because it doesn't fall apart like a TVR...mgrovernut said:That's insane if true.

And Qvale started life as a deTomaso.Seamaster said:Wrong.
It started life as a Qvale, the Qvale Mangusta.
Although the Peter Stevens' designed SV is unrecognisable from that car.
Thats not much different to saying that a BMW 3 Series started life as an Austin 7Hudson said:And Qvale started life as a deTomaso.
And DeTomaso started life as a chariot in Ben Hur. How far back do you want to go?Hudson said:And Qvale started life as a deTomaso.

Do you people know about this car at all? DeTomaso and Qvale worked together on the recent Mangusta (a name dating back to an earlier deTomaso model). When the vehicle went into production, it was initially sold in the US as a Qvale and in Europe as a deTomaso, who was producing the vehicle. After a lawsuit, Qvale acquired the plant and the vehicle.Seamaster said:And DeTomaso started life as a chariot in Ben Hur. How far back do you want to go?
What a stroker.

MG Rover acquired the bankrupt Qvale operation and the vehicle that went with it. The car was rebodied to become the MG SV.
Don't call me names unless you can prove me wrong, which you can't.
