MG Car Club - "Moderns"

Some of these pictures have been acquired from various overseas sources.

If you are in New Zealand and have a photo of your car in a NZ setting, I would love to receive an image or a print. Click to e-mail or post to Box 698, Wellington, NZ.

These images will take some time to load, but it's worth it.

MODEL & YEAR	DESCRIPTION	IMAGE
Metro 1300	A BL badge effort. Made from 1982 to 1989, not that pretty but quite a good car in their own way.
Metro Turbo	Turbo 1275, 93 hp, very quick, but a bit fragile as a few found out with all that extra power.
6R4	A wild rally built machine with rear mounted V6, 4 wheel drive. Wickedly fast, still being used today in anger.
Maestro	Made in 1600 & 2.0 litre versions to 1989. Very few in NZ, but those that are in good hands.
Montego	In 1994cc mode with or without a turbo, FWD sedan and much better than their reputation, ask somebody with one. >From Motobuild UK's website - one serious Montego turbo!
RV8	A modern B, as it might have been, Only 2,200 made, 1,400 ish went to Japan. About 10 have arrived in NZ before the clobbering machine won through. 3.9 Rover V8, under 6.0 secs to 100k, best of English interior. Forerunner for the re-release of MG via the MGF.
RV8	A few shots of aspects of the RV8.
MGF 1.8i	Much fuss at the launch in 1995, K series aluminium, rear mounted engine. A very modern MG in my favourite colour. Great marketing success. now firmly established as a new MG of style.
MGF VVC	As above but with very clever and complicated variable cam timing, likely to be replaced with a supercharged regular cam motor in 1999 - it wasn't!
MGTF	New even smarter looking MGF's, in a range of options, will load pics soon.
