The History of the MG SV - XPower

Built on a lightweight steel chassis, which has integral roll over bar protection to FIA standards, the SV has a chassis clothed in a very lightweight and advanced carbon fibre body that is made up from over 3,000 separate pieces of carbon fibre material. This was made and cut to size in the UK before shipment to Italy where each part was laid in moulds before being ‘heated' to form the rigidsections that were then bonded or bolted together to form the complete body. The chassis, made in Italy, was fully built up before the body was attached, then the mechanically complete cars were finished in the UK.

Production figures show that of the total of 61 built, 35 havebeen the 4.6 litre SV model, another 3 were SV-S, whilst the remaining 23 havebeen SV-Rs. From the total produced there have been 8 automatic versions,although only 1 automatic SV. It was felt that the 4.6 litre engine possessedinsufficient torque to give the desired performance.

The early production cars were all RHD, and the majorityprovided demonstrators for the 12 XPower MG Rover Dealerships scattered aroundthe country. In addition to the 61 production cars mentioned above there havebeen another approximately 25 LHD examples built in preparation for theEuropean markets. Although launches were planned for Italy, France, Holland andSpain the SV/SV-R  was only officiallylaunched in Germany, where 5 examples now reside, before the well publicisedevents of April 2005 intervened.

During the following 12 months many of the completed cars weresold to enthusiasts and cars completed where the parts were available. DuringMarch 2006, a large Auction of other stocks of parts, Race Cars and Developmentcars were auctioned at the Sport & Racing premises and the site closeddown. Approximately 15 RHD and 8 LHD completed SV & SV-R cars weretransferred to the Auctioneers, Wyles Hardy in Hertfordshire for gradual disposal.
