Since 1981, the famous British sports car brand name 'MG' has not been used. Years and years passed, as many people including me thought MG was dead, Rover suddenly launched MG RV8 in 1992. Strangely, it is only a MGB installed with a Land Rovers 3.9 litres V8 engine. Apparently, it would be no more than a one-off special production and unlikely to benefit the company in economic sense
MGF is a small mid-engined roadster. Its soft appearance might not be the most attractive design, but definitely easy to live with. Under the skin, there is a 1.8 litres 143hp variable valve timing (Rover calls it VVC) engine which won many praises because of its smoothness and willingness to rev. Being the best British four cylinders engine, it can compete with Alfas 2 litres twin sparks and Hondas VTEC to be the best four cylinders in the world.Source -
