Fiat have just launched the Fiat 500 Arbarth SS - it has 148bhp and 207lb/ft of torque, does 0-62 in 7.4secs and tops out at 127mph which are big increases over the standard Fiat 500 Arbarth. It still does 53mpg and has low emissions of 155grm/km. A real pocket rocket for less than £12k

Renault has also launched the Twingo 133 Cup which isn't quite as powerful or economical but would still give an RRS S/C or TDV8 a run for the money and it only cost £12220

And I think the Alicatt will be pleased to hear that the MG SV-S is to be revived by a company called MG X Power that is a small UK company that is not connected to Nanjin Motors - it's 5.0litre V8 with supercharger gives it 0-62 in 3.8 secs and top speed of 200mph................................ slight price problem though at £87000 a pop! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

The SV is a bit over priced for what it is, but they were saying that there will be a lower priced "entry level" model
Had a go in an SV when I first got my MG260, was tempted about a year ago to buy a new one for a little over £30k but had no place to keep it. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

Is that the 'Range Pack' which enables you to now not only get to the end of your drive but back up againin one charge?
