What's this?

The car in the picture is the BMW? I remember seeing the prototype...

or maybe it was the real car just that we were or were not going to get in the US. Basically the same frame as the Mini sports car?

Yeah, this looks like a successor to the MG line as a convertible, the Chinese car does not, or did I miss a convertible somewhere?

Yeah, anyway, It's silly to talk of the heritage the name "MG" is just legal property now which has some value but not sure how much.

I had a Triumph btw.
