    Might any of you British auto enthusiasts know who I could be in contact with to source and purchase a great LHD example of the captioned? Not that many built, but I'm sure there are a couple of great ones somewhere if one is wired into the community.

    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help,

    Michael

    OP. I think you will struggle here,however,am doing a bit of research in UK on the MG SV-R and also ,after the Qvale company sold the manufacturing rights to MG-Rover and they remodeled the car into the MG XpowerSV.

    Further info suggests that there were approx 23 LHD out of a production run of 80 ish. One or two put together after the collapse of Rover,from spare parts. I also understand that there is a car for sale at Hemmings (LHD and US) One in UK ,RHD currently at £GBP 30 ish,but not a great example.

    How could one legally import one of these? Is it rare enough to fit under the "show and display" exemption?

    Awesome cars, always really liked them.

    Yes, I believe there to be 28 LHD but 23 could be correct.

    I have checked and been checking Hemmings but don't see any for sale - could you kindly post or send me the link that you've found?

    Thank you.

    I see that the Hemmings car is a mangusta,and not an MG. Sorry about that. The Silverstone Auctions blurb about the car they sold in 2014 sums up production very well. They are rare,thats for sure.
