- reception when announced some time ago were caused by having to retain sufficient Mangusta engineering to keep its accreditation for the USA. So presumably 'Yes'. But it's not a *real* MG ... /// or

- Now what constitutes a "real" MG? Remember, in 1936 when Morris took over the design office for MG, the overhead cam MMM cars were supplanted with the T-series and the SVW range, enthusiasts bemoaned

- Qvale is an importer of historical note. He's based in San Francisco. He got in a deal with deTomas (I think) to make the Mangusta, a semi-exotic, a few years back. They had failing out about a 1 1/2

- OK Oxfordshire.. :) Fact is the factory closed in 81 and there are no more MG's period. The modern cars are simply badge engineered. Good cars they may be in their own right, but MG's they are not!
