MG Motor UK Ltd is delighted to announce its participation in the new Car and Van scrappage scheme announced by the Government in the recent budget. Launching across the UK on 18th May, qualifying customers can expect a reduction of £2,000 against the list price of a brand new MG TF under the scheme with £1,000 coming from the Government matched by £1,000 from MG Motor UK Limited directly.

Customers will be able to take advantage of the scheme when purchasing the existing model, the top of the range MGTF LE500, which will be available under the scheme for a very competitive £14,055 and later this summer, a unique MG which is being launched to mark the 85th Anniversary of the MG brand. The MGTF 85th Anniversary will be a great looking and fantastic handling car. Available in three special colours overlaid with striking graphics and a new design of alloy wheel, from the outside it looks fantastic.

MG Motor UK is pleased to announce that Guy Jones has joined the company as Sales and Marketing Director.

Guy brings significant global automotive experience into the business in sales marketing, PR, aftersales and product development. Prior to joining MG, he achieved notable success as world-wide Brand Manager for Bentley and as Marketing Director for Kia Motors UK.

He will be responsible for UK sales, marketing, PR and aftersales and will play a key role in developing the future of the MG brand.

Guy commented, “I am delighted to join MG at the most exciting time in its 85 year history. MG is a much loved iconic British brand that now has SAIC as a proud new owner, capable of developing the brand on a global basis. SAIC are already playing a leading role in China, now the world's largest car market, and have ambitious global plans for the MG brand. I am looking forward to playing a key role in developing this exciting new business.” 

On the 8th January 2009 NAC MG UK Ltd changed its name to MG Motor UK Ltd.

The change was made to reinforce the presence and image of the MG brand within the parent company's name. It is anticipated that the new name will help strengthen the company's reputation and re-emergence in the market by emphasising the already well known MG brand.

Everything else within the business remains unchanged but communications tools including the web address will, with immediate effect, change to www.mgmotor.co.uk.
