A number of sources reportedly have confirmed that the Irish company’s largest creditor is likely to emerge as MG Rover Exports, the company that supplied the stock to the motor distributor.
The report said the Irish subsidiary of the UK motor manufacturer was effectively placed in administration last April, along with its parent, after the Shanghai Motor Company announced it would not proceed with a planned investment.
