Just know the people that I personally know that owned the MGBs, and ones I drove, were not even close to performance vehicles, or quality made, having numerous mechanicals. They went belly up for a reason ... nuff said Making things up now with the I know people or my brother had?? ?? The performance was good for for a 1800 stop talking US nonsensical drivial.

Believe what you want, but 1 friend had one, and my brother had 2 MGBs. He enjoyed his rag tops. TR7, also c r a p, and only liked the Miata, mechanically, and Mini Cooper. I drove all 3 MGs, at least once, and not impressed. If I never drove one, I wouldn't comment. Better things to do than troll. Wouldn't be on here now if not pis sing down rain on & off all day. I'd post a photo of the one getting towed by my Nissan truck, but you'd say it's fake. Haven't a clue what engines were in them. Race cars are irrelevant to the conversation. How many have 200k kms on them. I don't they're racing stock cars. That would be impressive, although, did MG win any titles ? OK, I don't own a MG either, just thought I'd troll in support of a Thai/China product just to PO the anti china/thai folks.???? Almost forgot, another acquaintance had a Midget, never drove that, never wanted to, as way too small. Edited November 2, 2021 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placeholder Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 China’s Popular Electric Vehicles Have Put Europe’s Automakers on Notice The name MG used to be synonymous with spirited but finicky sports cars from Britain. Nowadays the iconic octagonal badge serves a different kind of motoring ambition: China’s push to become a big player in the global auto market. SAIC Motor, one of China’s Big Four automakers, bought the MG brand in 2007 and is stamping it on a line of electric sport utility vehicles on sale in Germany and other European markets. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/31/business/electric-cars-china-europe.html The article goes on to say that almost 10% of autos sold in Western Europe are EVs and that MG has 350 dealers in Europe with more on the way.
