Thank you adaveabbott
And thanks to all the other contributors, it wouldn't be the same if everyone kept quiet and just read the news
I see that red Morris Commercial van is back up the top for Xmas, not exactly Maxus sized though!
"Windy have you any idea which part of 2014 the new small engines will appear?"
They will arrive when they are ready, and engines seem a little unpredictable when it comes to being ready, if a change has to be made late on then they require an awful lot of testing to be repeated and releasing an engine before it is reliable is something they can't afford. The NLE 2.0T should arrive first, probably by Easter. I don't think the new SGE engine factory will be ready until mid year so I wouldn't be surprised if it is late autumn before we see SGE engines and I don't expect significant numbers until into 2015. I haven't actually seen any dates for a while though.
Has anyone heard when Vauxhall are getting them for the Adam?
2013 has been an interesting year with the release of the MG CS Concept, Maxus G10 Concept and the UK MG3, all of which have been a bit of a surprise in one way or another. If MG do go into Europe in 2014, even if only in RHD countries, then it should be another exciting year for the brand and presumably they will produce something for the 90th birthday celebrations...
