The newspaper said that Nanjing Automobile (NAC) confirmed the date to a group of British journalists during a tour of production facilities.


The date is four months ahead of the expected relaunch of production of the twoseater at Longbridge.


Yang Junhu, vice general manger of Nanjing MG, said: “It is a very exciting time for us – we started work on this in 2005 and we think the car will be popular.”


The success of the car in China may have a bearing on what happens at Longbridge. While confidence in MG in China is strong, in Europe there are fears the brand may have difficulty re-establishing itself, the report noted.
