We had a visit to Longbridge to with the 260s all those v8s wow. Its 10 years since the start of production. But as im sure you all realise Longbridge is a shadow of its former self. Lets hope it picks up and the Mg brand become a major player again. And look what we found

What's the date of the V8 introduction Rob? Has it already passed?

According to a "News Release" I received from MG Rover the launch date was.

September 23rd 2003
