Think I'll have to give this one to cjmillsnun :yesnod:

Yes this TF concept car was due to be released in 2014 using a RWD front engined layout. In the couple of articles I've seen I have never read any mention of it being a diesel.

As you should have spotted in the first picture there were no air intakes at the rear and on the picture below, a little reminiscent of the MG SV the front side vents are obvious.

Indeed it was.

Not sure if he designed it when he had the curly mullet or after he'd had a haircut ;)

Project Kimber who failed to buy MG Rover did enter negotiations to take over production of the Smart Roadster.

MGFest07 took place over the weekend of the 3rd to 5th August 2007 and was held at Billing Aquadrome.

The bands providing the entertainment were Krisis and Engine Room of the Apocalypse

The F'er singing and on guitar in the Engine Room of the Apocalypse is former columnist for MG World "Exhaust Fumes", Mr TT, owner of No. 19, Neil Willetts

That dodgy looking character in the fluorescent bib is ..... err John, no not John, Oooooo what's his name..... the one they avoid .......Chris , yes Chris somebody or other. Anyway that's unimportant :P

Just in case any of the above is correct, here is your next question.




1) Which two versions are illustrated in the graph?

2) The two are basically the same, but there is one difference. Name it?

You will need to be very specific in your answer.

Good luck

1) 120 and 135 ps K series 1.8 16v torque and power curves.
2) If referring to engine spec, then the main difference is in the cam profiles, with the 135 having around 0.7mm more lift and 8° more duration. However the 135 also has a VVC-style inlet cast alloy inlet manifold rather than the plastic version on the 120.

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
