2001 MG X30 Concept

The 2001 MG X30 Concept was part of an effort by the Phoenix Consortium, which had taken over the Rover Group from BMW for a nominal £10, to revive the company’s fortunes by rebadging existing models. The X30 concept traced its roots back to the Rover 25, itself a development of the Honda-based Rover 200 from the 1980s. The concept eventually evolved into the production MG ZR, which remained in production until the collapse of MG Rover and its subsequent sale to SAIC in 2005.
