MG Cars, originally a Morris car dealership in Britain, later built custom versions of its own cars and became famous in the automotive world for its two-door convertible sports car.
So?
Mg is a car brand owned by Nanjing Automobile Group Co., LTD.
In April 2007, SAIC fully acquired Nanjing Automobile Group and became the new owner of MG Automobile brand.
Saic MG Motor has successively put into production MG7 series, MG5 series, MG3 series, MGTF sports car, MG6 series and other series of models. The products are sold both at home and abroad. The Chinese market base is in Nanjing, and the international market base is in Britain.
The father of MG was William Morris.
The Worcester bicycle mechanic, who started out on four pounds, founded MorrisGarages, or MG, in 1910.
A decade later, he moved from car dealership to manufacturing and research and development.
In 1920, the first Morris car was built in the small town of Cowley.
At this point, MG embarked on a brilliant road of car research and development.
William Morris pursued his dream of being a car industrialist and devoted his life to cars and charities. He was once awarded the title of Lord Norfield.
In honour of Lord Morris Norfield, the MG was the name of the first car Cecil Kimber designed when he took the helm of Morris in 1923, and featured the famous octagonal emblem.
As the founder of the MG brand, Cecil Kimber is also an avid car enthusiast.
With a passion for sports cars and a flair for design, he created many eye-catching body shapes.
During his two decades with the company, MG grew rapidly, with the famous OldNumberOne,MarkIII, and the “Double Twelve” version of Miet, which won the team award at Brooklands.
Cecil Kimber’s life was tied to the automobile, creating the MG brand and contributing so much to its start and take-off.
