From 'agv-racing-logo.ai':

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: Adobe Illustrator(TM) 5.0
%%AI8_CreatorVersion: 10.0

'agv-racing-logo.ai' appears to be an older, Postscript-based AI format. It opens without error message from within Inkscape [1] when choosing "Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and below" as file format (UniConvertor is used for the conversion AI->SVG, UniConvertor 1.1.5 is bundled with Inkscape on Windows).

If explicitly choosing the correct file type in Inkscape's 'File > Open…' dialog still fails on your system, possibly this is a problem with UniConvertor on Windows: a similar question was recently asked in this InkscapeForum topic:
<http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9130>
and import as 'Adobe Illustrator 0.8 and below' file worked fine on OS X, but failed on Windows 7; both systems having UniConvertor 1.1.5 installed.

[1] tested with Inkscape 0.48.1 and 0.48+devel r10141 on OS X 10.5.8 with UniConvertor 1.1.5 installed, resulting SVG file attached.

@JazzyNico, @Alvin - could you test the file on Windows?
