Low volume production in England – at Longbridge, right-hand drive models only – will follow in April or May.


Nanjing Auto purchased the manufacturing assets of MG Rover in 2005, along with the MG brand, outbidding SAIC.


Since signing a 33-year lease at Longbridge, NAC MG has moved the majority of the original MG Rover assembly equipment to its all-new plant located in the New Technology Economic Development Zone in Pukou, Nanjing Province, China.


It will begin MG production with a version of the MG TF roadster. Annual volume of 6,000 units per annum is targeted, initially.
