Not sure if this belongs here but its Rover/MG Demise stuff.  It is interesting even if its not desirable I guess.

Its an MG X-Power SV-R - apparently a rare piece of kit.  Ive never seen one before but the internet proves they are a thing.  Interesting write up too.

THIS IS EXCELLENT! 

 

Extra bonus point for running a Holden 308 V8 motor.

It was in service with the Te Akau Rural Fire Brigade until 2014

 

!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Whilst in service in Taihape it was involved in a road crash and was rebuilt as they used to do back in the day

It doesn't say what it actually is underneath the GTi badges, but a clock where the rev counter should be says base... It does look tidy though.

I may be alone in liking that just as it is. It looks pretty tidy in the pics, good luck Kringle, we're counting on you!

Yes, it should be irreparably ruined as soon as possible.

Phew this is a rare car that (hopefully) will find some love. Packard and their Clipper brand are not run-of-the-mill US 50's cars. They were very well-made and at the time on a par (if not better than) Cadillac. This has their new for 56 5.7 litre V8 so they go very well. A great car fallen on hard times. Our US friends at Curbsideclassic have more information on these kings of the road.

Packard ceased to exist after 56 and became badge engineered Studebakers before disappearing completely  in 58. Certainly it does not want "ratrodding" - gently brought back to life it will last another 70 years. They have a keen following in the US - the club is very active and spare parts available. Rock Autos in the US have quite a few parts off the shelf like brake pads etc.

 

This promotional film shows the new engine. Sounds a bit crackly.

 

 

And this is what they sound like on the move...
