  1. BMC/BL car range that were increased in power via twin carbs etc were badge MG, and I believe Riley and Wolseley. After 1980, you will have to Google that info, but the MG Metro 6R4 was interesting in that period....????
  2. That's because you know nothing about the cars that wore the MG badge, of which a huge number were exported to the USA. ???? Even one of the most iconic cars ever made, the Austin/Morris Mini Cooper would have been badged an MG if it wasn't for John Cooper, though in later years it was adopted to the Mini Metro.....????
  3. I read somewhere that the ZS will have its 1500cc replaced with a 1000cc + turbo, now I am not sure if that's a step forwards or backwards....????
  4. I know you would, even if were badged Chow Ming, but I do wonder why the Maxus T60/70 was never sold here before, only after the "Brit" performance advertising .. ????
  5. Not me, it is the use of a British performance brand name on non-performance rides just to sell their Chinese stuff. I would probably stay quiet if they called your ride a Morris Oxford....????
  6. But, it is an underpowered 1500cc from the start....???? At least the Chinese equivalent Chery has a 1500cc with a turbo that will trounce a ZS..
  7. The MG truck is a 100% Chinese truck with an MG badge on it, but it has a Union Jack and Brit on the tail gate, sadly in the MG tradition, it has nothing added performance wise, just stuff to fool the buyer......????
  8. The MGB was a great car, except it was a rust bucket. But you are talking different era's. The last MGB was produced over 40 years ago, did the Chinese even have cars 40 + years back........????
  9. It says "Brit", now don't be afraid to say it... Would you have bought it it it said "Chow Ming".....???? You inferred folk took no notice of the Brit link, if that is the case, why use it. ????
  10. It is clear you know nothing about MG and its history, you are getting confused with the British Motor Corporation regarding the collapse of all the brands under the BMC control. Spend a bit more time reading on it..????
  11. A bit like Italian some sports cars using American engines eh.... Brough Superior motorcycles using J.A.P engines and another's suspension, worth a fortune now....????
  12. Yes, a bought name and history. Tell me why you think they never offered their rides with a Chinese name and history...?...????
  13. No, Morris Garages used the MG badge for their race cars back then. Morris badge was used for the run a rounds... The Chinese use the MG performance history in their advertising, a rip off...
  14. You seem to know nothing about nationalities of who actually designed BMC/BL cars either...???? Turkish/Greek and Italian come to mind....Time to catch up chum....????
  15. Are you now talking about the British Motor Corporation, who became British Leyland.....? ????
  16. Yep, you know nothing about Morris Garages history, but that's OK...???? Remember this, the Chinese had to buy a British brand name and history to sell their stuff, even the Ubion Jack, I wonder why.....????
