It looks like a foil wrapped MGF based Coupe concept car fitted with a larger engine, bit back end heavy, but an interesting design.

I don't ever recall having seen it before.

I presume it was an early design concept for a MGF GT coupe, pre-dating the MGTF based GT Concept by several years.

Well done Alan that is an interesting one.

It's similar in proportion to the EX-E, but a much more modern looking design. Almost looks to me like a late 90s take on EX-E, but I've not seen it before.

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

Certainly looks to have the dna of the EX E! :-?

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

Time for a couple of clues.

1. This was a design proposal from a company run by a former Director of Advanced Engineering at Rover. I don't think a car was actually built.

2. The company shares its name with part of the name of a type of public transport.
