It has sadly joined the likes of Wolseley, Riley, Austin and many others. As a MG fan from the age of 5/6 who could tell the difference between an MGC and an MGB it saddens me where the brand is now but at least it is still alive and I dream of them producing sports car again. Sadly I think that will remain a dream

As much as I would like to see a new MG roadster I don’t think the owners have ambitions to produce one. Car makers are set on volume and EV’s and nothing else. Only existing cars like the MX5 have any future and even they must be at risk of discontinuing. Bold as it may seem, I started a thread a few years ago proclaiming that we have already see the golden age of motoring.
