In the News (Mon 7 Dec 09)

  
 Events: NEC Motorshow 2004
Given that MGR received a bit of a pasting from the press over the frontal treatment of the 75 V8 when it was launched in Geneva, one could be surprised by this move, but in the flesh, the new frontal treatment with the gaping grille looks very good indeed.
MGR continues to maintain that the 45 platform has a lot to offer, and it has to be said that its Honda underpinnings are quite sophisticated, but as long as it remains with (much of) the existing style, it will be handicapped in the marketplace.
In his press statement Rod Ramsey, MGR's Sales Operations Director referred to it as an entirely new dashboard, and at first glance it is. The chrome rimmed round air vents (looking remarkably like those from the SV) set the interior off nicely, and the new instrument nascelle is a vast improvement on the old one.

 News Dec, Mar 2004
There was no sign of the 45/25 facelifts, as MGR is keen to keep something up sleeve for the "home" show, but there was one controversial unveil, all the same...
Rover's big announcement was the Rover variation of the 75/ZT V8, which it has to be said, did stop many observers in their tracks; and not all for the right reasons.
MGR quickly came back with a statement that claimed that the styling had been signed off a year before the car's launch, but as Audi had been dropping hints about the new company's new look for about the same amount of time, it looked like MGR could well have dropped a minor clanger.

 V8 Conversions
On the original chrome bumper V8 the cooler was mounted on the rad ducting panel under the offside fan motor and because of limited space a 10 row unit was used.
The B.L. MGB GT V8 utilised a modified 4 synchro overdrive box that is identical to the 4 synchro 1800 B unit except for the ratios and the bell housing, which mates direct to the Rover block.
The MGR V8 uses a different axle with a 3.31 ratio and limited slip however at approximately £2,000 this is not a very attractive option.

 V8 Se5 Scimitar - Fitting the engine and Gearbox   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
I made a template to ensure plenty of room would be left for the engine, and an extra bit to clear the manifolds.
The gearbox mounting is completely different style and position (further back) for the LT77 gearbox, so I used the original 4 mounting bolts at the front linking to Chassis centre cross member at the rear.
Note: The LT77 (early Rover SD1 5 speed) or R380 (later, found on MGR V8, TVR's etc) are both suitable but you will need a Sherpa type shift linkage to get the gearlevel into a suitable position.

 V8 broken down again - AND AGAIN !
The MGR V8 to me was just a car that incorporated all these improvements in a pretty body.
Just like the Morgan they don't handle well out of the box, you have to learn how to chuck them around, which to me is ultimately far more satisfying than a car that does all that for you.
The Aston Martin V8 also requires improvements to the suspension to make the handling such that it can be thrown around with relative impunity and also requires a learning curve to enable you to do so.

Photos of the cracks in the V8 steering rack mounts have been sent in by Brown and Gammons which show the extent of the cracks on the side of the mounts very clearly.
As the consequences of a complete failure would be serious, members with both chrome and rubber MGBGTV8s, V8 Roadsters or GT conversions built from Factory rubber bumpered shells or RV8s need to have the mount inspected as a matter of urgency.

The new MGR V8 is most MG fan's dream but priced at £26,000 this is beyond the average bank balance and even in the future bearing in mind the limited production run second hand models will be difficult to find.
To convert an MGB to a V8 to make a profit is not viable, but unlike most other conversions, if the job is well engineered, the value of the vehicle is increased.

 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MGF leading to the MGF MY2000 VVC
In the meantime, though, the MG image was beginning to fade so as a boost a seperate project inspired by a Heritage MGB V8 roadster conversion was researched.
This was code named the "Adder" project and resulted in the MGR V8 in 1992 to try and plug the hole in the sports car market and keep the MG marque alive.
Built on the British Motor Heritage revived MGB body shell it was a fine car with it's 3946cc V8 engine and leather upholstery but it was still dated in style.

This two-door convertible was the first 'proper' MG sports car since the MGB - apart from the limited production MGR V8 of 1993 - and had an all-new body.
Its monocoque shell housed a mid-mounted 1.8-litre 118bhp Rover K-Series engine, while Hydragas fluid-filled suspension made for a surprisingly supple ride.
