UP TO SPEED: LEFTROVERS FOR SALE.

THIS would make an interesting day out if you're not doing anything tomorrow.
The administrator in charge of disposing of MG Rover assets is holding an auction to sell off old stock from MG Sport & Racing Ltd - the high performance arm of the defunct car company.
All sorts of tantalising stuff is going under the hammer. One item that would look good in the garage is the MG ZT estate that managed to do 227mph at the Bonneville salt flats in America.
It's got a huge V8 under its bonnet that must sound fantastic. It's an utterly useless car, but so what? It looks the business. There's also one of the few expensive MG SV supercars the firm got round to building.
But there's lots of smaller stuff for sale - boxes of MG Sport T-shirts, baseball caps and other promotional goodies.
For the techies there are dozens of engine bits and boxes of brake pads and discs. There are also lots of tools for sale, which would raise the pulses of men in sheds all over the country.
The auction is being run by Wyles-Hardy at Groveley Lane, Birmingham B31 4PT and will start at 9.30am.
