MG confirms Longbdrige production
Summer launch date for the TF LE500 sportscar
MG cars will be built at Longbridge this summer after Chinese owner NAC finally confirmed its plans for the UK.
The TF LE500 sportscar will go into production in August, the carmaker’s newly-appointed chairman has announced – marking a return to production in Longbridge after a three year hiatus.
At last: The new MG arrives this summer
He Xiao Qing said NAC recognised the frustration the delay had caused in the industry but the carmaker was now focussed on the job in hand.
“I am delighted to be in a position to talk about a launch date for the TF LE500 following a process of planning, re-organisation, quality improvements and parts optimisation that we recognise resulted in frustration for our stakeholders,” He said.
“We are now fully focussed on bringing our hard work to fruition.”
