MG set for UK comebackNanjing Automobile, the Chinese buyers of MG, have announced plans to bring the TF soft-top sportcar back to the UK.
Production of the TF is already underway in China and Nanjing hopes to start importing bodies and parts into the UK for assembly at MG Rover's old Longbridge plant.
115 people are still employed at the plant, with Nanjing planning to increase this to 800 as other revised MG models are launched.
Restyled versions of the MG ZT and ZS models, to be called the MG 7 and MG 5 respectively, are also on the way, alongside a significantly revised MG ZR, which will be re-badged the MG 3.
The MG 7 is expected to be the first to arrive, by the Autumn, with the 5 and 3 following in 2008.
