Full UK Spec MG6 to debut at the MPH

Tatts · 3rd September 2010, 08:43

The first all-new MG in 15 years will be the star at two of the biggest motor shows in Britain this autumn when the UK specification MG6 is unveiled at the MPH featuring Top Gear Live events in November.

MG6 is a 1.8-litre five-door fastback designed and engineered in the UK and which will be built at MG’s factory in Birmingham.

MG6 development vehicles in left-hand drive format have been shown at two major events earlier in 2010; however MPH will be the first time that full UK right-hand drive production specification MG6’s have been displayed to the public.

Peter Brooking, MG Motor UK’s Marketing Manager, said: “MPH featuring Top Gear Live crowds are always knowledgeable and enthusiastic so we think the new MG6 will prove very popular with visitors to the shows.

“MG6 is not just the first all-new MG model for several years but it’s a true MG with all the hallmarks which have made the brand so popular throughout its long history. It’s a striking, high quality car that is also practical and sporty”

This years MPH featuring Top Gear Live events take place at London’s Earls Court from November 4-7 and the NEC Birmingham from November 11-14.

Lets hope they do her proud, and more importantly, the pricing strategy is key, yes, its an MG, but its not seen a brand equal to Kia etc being from external markets.

Time to win back the croud.

MG Zero Concept to star at MPH Featuring TopGear Live

18.10.10

"It’s here, the exciting MG ZERO concept car that will star at the ‘MPH featuring Top Gear Live’ shows in November has safely arrived at MG Birmingham. This will be the first time that the ZERO will have been show in Europe and is bound to be a real crowd puller. ZERO was designed by the UK based team led by MG Design Director, Anthony Williams-Kenny.
Concept cars are important because they can point towards future production models. The ZERO was first shown at the Beijing Automotive Show and caused a sensation, receiving rave reviews from the world’s automotive media and visitors alike.
Guy Jones, MG Motor UK’s Director of Sales and Marketing said: “Everyone has been bowled over by the Zero and, although still a concept, it is vitally important to us because it shows the direction for the smaller range of cars to follow MG6.”

I think I remember reading that they are likely to sell the Zero here as the MG3.
