MG Lives!

[MG Man]

The MG Owners� Club celebrates the re-birth of our favourite marque. MG seemed doomed to extinction but the Nanjing Automobile Company (NAC) bought the assets and the tooling and began manufacturing MG sports cars and MG saloons for the fast growing Chinese market in March 2007. NAC also promised to re-introduce manufacturing of MGs again at Longbridge and they have been true to their word.
Owners of the later MGs, namely the MG TF and the Z range of MG saloons will welcome continuity of their models, parts and factory support. It is likely that second hand values of the modern MGs will also improve.
The MG Owners� Club and NAC enjoy a very friendly relationship and NAC executives and staff have liaised with the MGOC for some time and helped to ensure that the new MGs and future models in the planning are true to the tradition and concept of MG. Pictured here MG Owners� Club members proudly displayed fine examples of historic and classic models at the Longbridge celebrations on the 22nd May 2007 launching the new MGs in pre-production. We look forward to the volume production in the near future.




In the run-up to the commercial launch of the new MG TF 2-seater sportscar, NAC MG (UK) has received an overwhelming response to their request for applications to become an MG franchised dealer. The high level of enthusiasm has not only come from retailers within the UK, but also from those located as far afield as Greece and South Africa.

The majority of applicants in the UK, a key market for MG cars, are former MG franchise dealers who continue to demonstrate a passion for the brand and are equally keen to apply their extensive knowledge of the product, marque and client base.

Further enquiries have also been received from other manufacturer franchises which include Citroen, Lotus, Renault, Mitsubishi, Mercedes and Vauxhall, highlighting the renewed confidence in the brand. Potential UK locations for the newly established dealers span nationwide from Northern Ireland to the Channel Islands.

Commenting on the large volume of applications which NAC MG (UK) has received to become part of the new MG retail network, Stephen Cox, Sales and Franchising Manager for NAC MG (UK) explains: "We are delighted by the global interest which we have received and are also very encouraged by the high quality of the applicants. This is a true demonstration of the continued appeal of the MG brand, and an illustration of the confidence in a very promising future."

NAC MG (UK) is currently reviewing all applications, and will shortly announce the appointment of those who can fully satisfy the company's demanding criteria.
