Ah! I try to look at the wheels to work out if cars for sale are gen 1 or gen 2, but these looked different.

So a brand new Trophy, but just with a few parts missing :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The lack of a little black screen would lead me to believe it's a gen 2. Would be easily confirmed by a middle headrest on the back bench, and/or a rear wiper. But alas, not a lot of photos of the actual car.

See the tiny little "screen" with the red dot just above the steering wheel column? That is a camera that checks if you're awake etc. in the Gen 1 if I'm not mistaken.
 
I have a gen 2 MG4 ER and those are indeed the 18" alloys hidden under the wheel covers (unfortunately).
 
The original gen 1 MG4 had a 'bump' with a camera on top of the steering column but that was removed.

There is no small screen just a reflection of something on the button.
 
Thanks - pretty sure I want a gen 2 to get the one pedal driving, rear wiper and (if I read the forums correctly) a more robust charger.

Just better not fall asleep driving then!
 
Oh.. but now I see you can buy a brand new SE SR for under £20K with a rear-camera? Too many choices.
 
I have no idea what it's based on. People have spoken of getting a coffee cup symbol coming up, and that's on the SE as well, not just the Trophy, but speculation about it being simply time-based seems to be wrong. I've never seen it and I've driven over two hours often, over three hours quite often, and nearly four hours once, without stopping.

I do get a warning to hold the steering wheel sometimes, usually if the car is in TJA mode, but that's something quite different from the coffee cup.
