Pretty amazing if it is the Chinese that brings back the MG to England. It won't be the old MG, sad to say, though.

I can see a clear market for a classic TD or TF model, but with updated engine and electronics. Those were fun cars to drive and still would be, but they're impractical for most people, today. With modern mechanicals and electronics, though, they'd be a blast again.

I've owned an MGTD, an MGA TwinCam fixed head, an early 60s MG Midget, and an MGB. I loved all of those cars, even if I spent as much time tinkering with them as driving them. I made money on all of them, and got to drive them for a while.

I envision the quality control of a Yugo.
