I loved that car, even after driving Mercedes 300 and BMW 7 for my work.
This MG7 is really beautiful and it is fun driving it.
For the curious people amongst you: I have paid (after negotiations) 192.800 RMB. (18.000 UK pounds)
I have downloaded some pictures in the Image Gallery of exactly the same car I have ordered.
If somebody would like more details, just let me know.
Welcome!!! Congratulations on purchasing on of the finest cars in the world.

I think you are the first to join here, awesome, glad to see the forums world wide reaching!

Also, your english is fantastic! You may become tortured by forum members for getting parts for our cars.

I asked MG months ago about the MG7 being sold in the UK.

No was the answer.

I get the impression that the 'new' MG under Chinese ownership wants to distance itself from the MG that failed in 2005.

Depending on what you read & believe, there's a rather smart looking TF replacement on the not too distant horizon.

We're also likely to get the MG Zero, and from what I've seen written, there's a few new models due to be coming out. Sometime.

Agreed. I questioned this on the MG facebook page and they couldnt have been more of ''those are cars from the past'' attitude.

I personally love the MG7. Too me, its far closer to this....



.... which was the Rover 75 sport.

ROEWE has changed the body and other details considerably, so, the ROEWE 750 does not look very much like the original concept anymore. In 2012 the model will be totally revised/re-invented on the platform of the (GM) Lacrosse.
MG kept the original concept, but since the car is not selling well (the Chinese want a luxury car with all possible comfort and gadgets) they have added the automatic gearbox, GPS, and all other nice things. And you are right, it looks now very much like the Rover 75 as we know it in Europe.

Thanks for that!

When do you actually get your new car? We would all like to see photos of the inside & outside - lots of them please!

Maybe it would be a good idea not to use parts identical to the originals that way not as many things can go wrong

@ Cymrudragon

That reply seemed a bit "snappy"

Unfortunately my font of knowledge was a polite e-mail reply from MG in reply to my own e-mail confirming they have no plans for us to get the MG7, they also won't consider one off import requests from individuals.

Regards,

Paul
