Land Rover Sport Price
Keep on Truckin'
In 1968 Leyland Motors, a British truck manufacturer bought the MG Car Company when it purchased the British Motor Corporation. Once again in 2007, a truck manufacturer, Nanjing Motors of China has rescued the brand. The first MG cars rolled off the assembly line this week to the cheers of auto enthusiasts worldwide.
Nanjing Motors bought the bankrupt holdings of MG-Rover and promptly moved all the tooling from the Longbridge, England plant and shipped it to China. Along with the machinery, Nanjing also sent a collection of historic MG convertibles and sports cars in an effort to capture the essence of British engineering and styling. Wang Hong Biao, Vice President of Nanjing Auto Company, noted that "emotion is the most important factor in purchasing cars. That's why we feel the brand is so important and is why we want to protect the British flavor of the brand.” (International Herald Tribune, March 13, 2007)
