[Mgs] Trademark infringement?

[Paul Hunt]

The company and its production facilities do indeed have a direct 
connection.  Whether future products will have any *spiritual* link with 
what came before is another matter.  The refrain "But it's not a proper MG" 
was been uttered with the Z cars, MGF, RV 8, MGB, MGA etc. by the owners of 
each preceding generation, right back to when Abingdon lost control of 
design and content in the 1930s and the drawing office was moved to Cowley 
and they had to start using bits out of the corporate parts-bin.  I have a 
ZS 180 as well as an MGB roadster and V8 bodyshell apart it is the least 
'badge-engineered' MG that has ever been produced, and was born under the 
same restrictions that eventually applied to the MGB with a pitiful budget 
but in the hands of a small bunch of enthusiasts who produced something far 
better than anyone expected, and very much in the sporting traditions of MG.
