I'm not sure I get it. The bodies and engines are made in China and assembled in England?


No. They are pretty much built in China and basically sent over here for the water and oil to be added!!
They arrive under the cover of darkness in sealed containers and the factory has a machine that makes noises and churns out steam to look like a working factory.
As you can see from the main picture, that's one hell of a building with no assembly plant in it.
Three Brummies (blokes from Birmingham where the factory is), put in oil and water (hopefully in the correct places) and put some air in the tyres and push them out for photos.
You can see two of them in the picture. The bloke with the folded arms is obviously the team leader.
Then they have a break for tea and a ciggy.
They don't start them up in case they break down before they are loaded onto transporters.


Seriously, good luck to MG and hopefully some of the old personnel that were shafted when it closed will get some work out of it.
I was behind one of them a few months ago. Pity it was just like any other modern car these days.
You could have taken the badges off and you'd have been none the wiser who had made it.
