Yes well done MG mad, correct on all counts. The new MG is likely to remain a limited edition with that price tag too.

Look forward to your new question for 2013

Right, this should hopefully be an easy one:

Name the only engine developed and used for solely an MG, post WW2 (that is, not used in any other marque).
96 MGF 1.8i: Project Rally Car
98 MGF Abingdon" 285H cams, modded head etc
87 MG Metro: 1440cc fast road car
88 MG Metro Turbo
70 MG Midget: 1.9L VVC + supercharger + RWD = YEEHAA!
72 MGBGT: Project Speed 6 MGB
05 MG ZT-T 260: wife's sensible car
01 MG ZS 180: LHD, for driving around Germany in

2013 is a diamond anniversary year for which MG?

Why was this one not considered a diamond at it's launch in an ironic twist of engine choice?

How many Mk variations did it have following its launch until the end of production?

How many times has this particular model name been used?

Z-series Magnette, was viewed unkindly by the MG purists at the time of launch due to using the Austin B series engine, rather than the XPAG Morris/MG engine that was used in it's stablemate Wolseley. The ZA and ZB Magnettes were the only two "MKs" of Z Magnettes, but were superseded by the Farina styled MKIII and MKIV Magnettes.

MGs to use the name Magnette were:
K types
N types
ZA, ZB
MKIII and MKIV (Farina)
and MG6

as far as I'm aware there weren't any others.

That is the down side... and here I am half way through my first IIPA of the night, so it could be an interesting question.

OK, here's another easy one, hopefully it's not been asked before (not that I could see, anyway).

Name all the V8 engined MG models, and list them in order of numbers produced, descending.
