Yep, sadly they rusted from the inside out, much the same as all BMC (BL) stuff..

But at least BMC used the MG name for its performance rides, and the Morris name for groceries......????

Should be the other way around you dumpty. You've got to be having a larf mate.. Last post on the matter

In the past 12 years here in Thailand I've owned a Toyota Pre-Runner and two Mazda BT50's, all from new. For the past 7 months I've owned an MG Extender. For those moaning about build quality, I reckon the Extender is at least equal to. if not better than the Mazdas. For what I paid for the 2 door manual Mazda BT50, I get a 4 door auto MG with an extremely (For me) comfortable interior with many extras that the other trucks didn't have. The ride is great and it accelerates better than the Mazdas and the Toyota.

Who cares where it comes from? Who cares that the MG brand is now owned by the Chinese? As someone said before, so is Volvo among others.

Instead of bitching on the computer, go to a showroom and sit in an Extender. You might be surprised.

Oh, and it has a 5 year warranty.

I was curious about why the normally conservative Thai pick-up buyers would buy an imported truck, so had a look at one in a mall - and yes, the equipment levels and the warranty look good, and it looks a lot like a Toyota - although I'd be worried about resale values.

 

There's also the thought that as a resident of Thailand I can support local industry by buying a locally built vehicle, as opposed to one built in China, but that's just my way of thinking.

Owned it for 7 months and done 12,000 kms.

Fortunas are like a55holes.......Everybody's got one hahahaha

I think they are built in Rayong, but I could be wrong on that.

Ah yes - I just Googled it, and they have a factory in Chonburi - a joint venture with CP.

 

I'm always impressed with how many things are made in Thailand, as compared to my home country.

 

I have a "Made in Thailand" car, motorcycle, camera, TV, fridge, washing machine and wife.

Only a UK chauvinist nationalist would claim that a Chinese made car is British only because it was designed in the UK

 

MG Motor UK Limited (MG Motor) is a British automotive company headquartered in Longbridge, Birmingham, England,^[2] and a subsidiary of SAIC Motor UK, which in turn is owned by the Shanghai-based Chinese state-owned automotive SAIC Motor. MG Motor designs, develops and markets cars sold under the MG marque. MG Motor is the largest importer of Chinese made cars into the United Kingdom.

Think we all know that...

The Morris Garages mark was bought by the Chinese from BMW, who bought the remains of the Rover Group from the UK.

The Chinese obviously bought it to use the 'British' link to their Chinese stuff.

 

British Motor Corporation bought up most of the independent brands using their names for different car variants.

Morris name, along with Austin, were used on standard cars but the MG mark, which was Morris's performance arm, was used on performance models, Wolseley, Riley etc names were used on posh variants.  

So yeh, the Chinese pickup is a performance ride, eh....????

These Turnips who love to tell us Google is Youre Friend, can now amuse themselves by searching Chinease Car Sales and that are a complete disaster due to Chinese Flu and Tyrany. These MG Fan Boys can then amuse us all with their pathetic defence of the Junk. 90% Down. Oh Dear.!

For information - a Union Jack is the flag flown off the stern of HM Ships and the Union FLAG is what you are talking about I believe, unless you intend to float your MG?  A common mistake made by many.

It is not a mistake. 

Although originally a "Jack" flag, in the early 19th century the term "Union Jack" was adopted as the name for the national flag everywhere.

During my time in the service I had to raise and lower the flag many a time, an accurate watch was essential.

Though I agree with some of your post, and am pi__ed off with the MG name being used to "cover" Chinese stuff, plus I owned an MGB, they were not quality cars...

I had a Midget, took it with me when I went to Germany in 1972. Only car I ever made a profit on, had people queuing up to buy it.

2017   SAIC Motor-CP Co. Ltd. and MG Sales (Thailand) Co. Ltd. recently staged the opening ceremony of the new MG production plant, located on a 437-rai plot of land at the Hemaraj Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate2. The new assembly facility is result of a THB 10-billion investment and has a maximum production capacity of 100,000 vehicles per year. It features the latest automations and intelligent robotics, along with the highest levels of production and quality control technologies.

Had an MGB in BRG.  Had no 1st to 2nd gear synchro—so had to double-clutch it.

Today though, I wouldn’t buy anything made by Wuhan Virus CCP if I can help it.

At least they will be VW's assembled in China under the watchful eye of the Germans, not a Chinese car using a bought British performance brand name from the Germans and using the words British and since 1924..........

Joint venture between Volkswagen and SAIC (SAIC own MG) Doubt here is too many Germans with watchful eyes overseeing the assembly.
