After having been spun off from the spinoff of the spinoff, the MG name and a few remaining assets are now owned by a Chinese firm, who supposedly plans to reintroduce a Chinese made MG coupe and convertible (new models, not retro MGB's). They state that they will offer only the coupe in the U.S., and assemble it here. (Of course this may never come to pass; several Chinese auto manufacturers have announced planned U.S. distribution over the last few years, and the stated timeframes have come and gone.) - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
