"Passion Drives Since 1924"......???? https://www.mgcars.com/en/Home https://www.mgcars.com/en/Home OK, so people that own and drive MGs, since 1924 are passionate about it, in a good way, I would think that's what that implies. Can't disagree much with that, passion drives it's production & sales, quite 'accurate' not deceptive and no argument here. Moving on ....

The Marina van has to be one of the worse vans I ever had next to the J4 and one other Morris van. The Transit a bit better the van before it better. The best van ever was the Mercedes.

Just looked and mine has 'Brit Dynamic' on it, and possible the first time I actually read it. I know I read 'brit designed' somewhere, maybe promo advert. Don't know what 'dynamic' means, and as stated earlier 'brit design' certainly didn't influence my purchase. If made in the UK, I definitely would not have purchased it, as having that negative opinion of UK owned MG manufacturing. Anyone thinking it's a brit MG is an idiot. Although since the keep an UK address, I could actually be 'brit designed', so again, NO deception. Let it go man ... BE SAFE Had to google it, and can't get any more honest than that: dynamic ... adjective 1. (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.
