Well you said it looked like an MGBGT and I said a 6 looks nothing like that.

So then I thought of a 3 - of which I know nothing.

And here we are !

no i said the new 6 looked like a big MGBGT not the car i saw in car pk
I said it looked like a golf type thing , i found this on net and something like only the car was the colour of the stickers and stickers were dark green and i dont think there was a roof sticker on it . and no number on doors

The forthcoming MG3 is out on the UK roads testing already, I saw several behind the R&D offices at Longbridge last week at the BTCC media day. One had MG ZR wheels on it as it was being used for suspension testing.

The MG ZR was continued in China as the MG3 and used the Rover Streetwise bumpers etc so was called the MG3 SW. The new MG3 is a completely new design using the NSE (New Small Engine) in 1.3 and 1.5 (107bhp) format, this being the same engine as shown in Topgear in the Roewe 350 which is a bigger car and will form the basis of the new MG5 in 2013. The MG3 has been on sale for about 3 months in China and elsewhere in other LHD markets but is being reworked like the 6 for the UK and other RHD markets, and will probably get a turbo 1.5 engine for our market.

The attached are photos of an MG3 I saw at a dealership in Shanghai in December last year. There will be a successor to the MG3 SW known as the MG3 Xross but I am not sure if that will come to the UK.

So was that what you saw, Ruth/Richard? Or was it a hotted up ZR?

It was Richard who saw it. I'm just the agent provocateur.

He'll be online later to reply.

Dont knpow Martin but more like the one i put pic off on hear but no spoiler i think , i was driving in as it was driving out and did not even give a glance till i saw the MG stickers on side then it was gone, but the stickers would not have looked right on the 3 so ifwhat i put pic on was a ZR i think that was it but it looked new or nearly new .
