Phil,
I have found this on 'Wikipedia' which explains some of the background.
"MG Sports and Racing Europe Limited is a British automotive company based in Eardiston, Tenbury Wells in Worcestershire. The company was founded by William Riley, who acquired the rights to the MG XPower brand after the demise of MG Rover with the intention of restarted production of the MG XPower SV sportscar. The company was registered on 29 January 2007.
Riley's use of the "MG" trademark resulted in a legal dispute with Nanjing Automobile (Group) Corporation, which had also acquired assets of the defunct MG Rover Group.
In December 2009, it was reported in the press that no new cars had been manufactured by MG Sports and Racing Europe since its founding, and that employment tribunal proceedings had been initiated by two employees for non-payment of wages. Riley was also arrested by police in 2009 on suspicion of theft of an XPower WR car previously sold to a Canadian businessman who had been working on behalf of the company."
Peter.
