I do wonder why bailiffs and some receivers chose such random places to try and sell very specialist cars - it's hardly bog-standard second hand car-dealer material!
I think in 20 or so years, once most of the original MGR products have gone and a lot of the hatred has gone these could be worth quite a lot of money, the Chinese now own the brand, potentially wealthy Chinese collectors may take to buying up the back catalog ? once they get past the sitting in the back of a car being driven round thing.
I've only ever seen one in the wild but it was this one at Ten of the Best.

The car is certainly a rarity and clearly collectible.
It will be interesting to see what it fetches at the no reserve auction.
Here is a pic of the car today...
I'm sure they're great cars but.. I just can't get over it looking something like an Audi TT with a terrible body kit on it :| It will be interesting to see what it fetches at the no reserve auction.
