Saturday 14th September 1985

The stunning MG EX-E concept was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The EX-E was a mid-engined sportscar inspired by the Ferrari 308 and designed by Roy Axe and Gerry McGovern. The car’s drivetrain and chassis were derived from the mid-engined MG Metro 6R4 rally car. The EX-E concept car did not lead to a production version, although Gerry McGovern did go on to style the later, smaller MG F sportscar. The car is now preserved in the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, England.
