MG SV X Power - 7,283 miles, 2007

Chassis No.: SA9SVGCAB4M130132 Engine No.: 82908038 £41,625 | Sold • Variant: SV • Transmission: Manual • Body Colour: Dusty Blue Beautifully presented, low-mileage, single owner, late production example of the 320bhp XPower SV, a brave moment for MG during the Phoenix-era. One of the many unfortunate consequences of the MG-Rover Group's demise was the curtailment of an ambitious competitions programme that had re-established the famous MG marque as a major force in international touring and sports car racing. The basis of this resurgence was a series of high performance road models, at the pinnacle of which was the sensational MG XPower SV Coupé. The basis of MG's new supercar was the shelved Qvale Mangusta project. MG entrusted exterior design to Peter Stevens, the renowned Royal College of Art designer responsible for the McLaren F1, the last Lotus Elan, Jaguar's XJR-15 and BMW's 1999 Le Mans winner. Unveiled at the UK Motor Show in 2002, MG's new high performance XPower SV flagship was styled in the modern idiom yet retained sufficient styling cues from MG Rover's production cars to remain recognisably related. It can have surprised few onlookers when Stevens won the. Autocar. 'Designer of the Year' award in 2002. The MG XPower SV was powered by a 4.6-litre quad-cam Ford V8 engine, whose 320bhp was transmitted via a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and BTR limited-slip differential. Underpinning the SV was an immensely strong steel box-frame chassis (with integral roll cage) fabricated by Vaccari and Bosi in Modena. The bodyshell was constructed of lightweight carbon fibre and the resulting excellent power-to-weight ratio enabled the SV to arrive at 60mph in 5.3 seconds on its way to around 165mph. Such superb straight-line performance demanded nothing less than the very best by way of supporting components and the SV did not disappoint in this respect, being equipped as standard with Brembo competition-specification brakes and OZ 18" split-rim wheels. Assembled in the UK at MG Sport & Racing, every SV was individually built to personal customer order, with prices starting at £65,750. Beautifully presented in Dusty Blue, this late production example of the 320bhp XPower SV was purchased brand new by our vendor and first registered on 1st October 2007. The odometer indicated just 7,289 miles from new, at the time of cataloguing, supported by the accompanying history file which includes seven previous service invoices, ten old MOTs back to October 2010 at 3,487 miles, some correspondence, the original MG XPower slipcase brochure with its CD ROM and both sets of keys, the spare set still sporting the original factory tag. The current MOT ('no advisories') is valid until July 2026 and the MG has just benefited from some light recommissioning and an oil service. The registration number seen in our images, 58 LCV, does not form part of the sale and the car is now registered WL57 NLF. These are rare cars and seldom come to market, particularly single owner examples with very low miles in such a striking colour. Sensibly guided, we invite and encourage your inspection at our Silverstone Festival Sale. https://www.iconicauctioneers.com/2007-mg-x-power-rec15349-1-silverston-0825?pn=0&el=33239&pp=0
