MG return to Longbridge?

SAIC detailed it's plans in Europe this week, including a new dedicated EV site somewhere in the region – although exactly where remains unknown. The automaker did share that it sold 530,000 units overseas in the first quarter of 2023, up 40% compared to a year ago.

SAIC also relayed that nearly 70% of those sales came from the MG brand in Europe alone. That market saw more than double sales in the first half of 2023 (115,000 units). In the first five months of this year, SAIC Motor has remained the largest exporter of Chinese automakers, garnering a growing demand for EVs from MG Motor in Europe.
The MG brand is selling so well wouldn't it be cool if they returned to the UK.

Agreed. I wonder whether they have retained sufficient space at Longbridge, as I heard they sold a lot off for housing.
