This was done by an English company, using a shortened Range Rover chassis and 
a new 
bodyshell. They wanted to make a production run of it, asking IIRC GBP12.000 
for one. The car 
was featured on BBC's Top Gear (in 1995?), which started by showing the top 
half of the car 
plowing through a cow field, then zooming out to show the whole car. I never 
heard from the 
project again.

My ideal MG 4WD would be more of the BMW-X or Audi Quattro kind, not for 
terrain but for great 
grip on curvy and slippery roads.
