MG Cars... now at Zayani Motors

05 October 2010

Zayani Motors have recently been appointed as the exclusive dealers for British automakers MG (Morris Garages) cars in the kingdom the Bahrain.

'The introduction of the luxurious MG brand is a true testimony of Zayani Motors vision and plans in marking a new era of growth and success in the country,' said Mr. Nawaf Al Zayani, Managing Director of Zayani Motors. MG cars are a former British sports car manufacturer which was founded in 1924 by Morris Garage and is best known for their two-seat open sports cars, saloons and coupés.

Every MG is precision-engineered to deliver total driver engagement. From its earliest days MGs have been used in rallies and in the early 1930s a series of dedicated racing cars such as the 1931 C-Type and 1934 Q-type were made and sold to sporting enthusiasts.

The introduction of MG in Bahrain is marked by the launch of their new MG550 sedan model that comes in two variants of Comfortable and Deluxe.

The classy MG550 is designed with aggressive sporty appearance, maintaining the classiness of the Roewe 750. Powered by MG Rover K-Series 4 cylinder 1.8 Turbo engine, the MG 550 offers a torque of 160hp.

The MG 550, built by the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), has been rebadged as MG after SAIC obtained the ownership rights to the UK brand.

'We are confident that the new model MG 550 will be a resounding success marking the beginning of our new venture,' said Mr. Nawaf Al Zayani.

Providing the very best in every facet of conducting business efficiently, Zayani Motors strives to succeed and continue leading the automotive industry.

Innovatively designed and well equipped showrooms stand as a testament to Zayani Motors dedication in providing the best facilities that are on par with international standards and are sure to maintain customer loyalty.

With a dedicated after-sales team, a professional service center and fixed 'open and honest' service menu pricing, Zayani Motors has consolidated its position as one of the most innovative dealership in the Kingdom that offers value added packages and excellent customer service.

The rebirth of a legendary brand

SOME brands pass away and are quickly forgotten and barely missed. Others slip from our attention, but remain fondly remembered. A few return and are welcomed back into our lives.

Following a string of ownership changes in the past few decades, MG (Morris Garages) is back and Zayani Motors have been appointed as its exclusive dealer in Bahrain.

The MG sports car became a firm favourite across the world for decades but had a roller-coaster existence. Originally owned by William Morris in 1924 it went on to become one of the flagship models under British Leyland, later the Rover Group, before the marque passed to British Aerospace and on to BMW. The German giant sold the business in 2000 to the MG Rover Group.

In 2005, the Nanjing Automobile Group purchased the rights to the MG brand and the assets of the group, creating a new company NAC MG UK Limited. In 2007, NAC entered talks about a merger with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), and the takeover was completed later that year.

Now the brand has the backing and resources of a multi-billion dollar automotive giant its future is considered by industry pundits as more secure than at any time in its history. It now aims to make its mark once more in the Middle East.

"The introduction of the luxurious MG brand is a true testimony of Zayani Motors' vision and plans in marking a new era of growth and success in the country," said Nawaf Al Zayani, managing director of Zayani Motors.

One motoring correspondent in the Gulf was full of praise for the vehicle after a short test drive. He said: "The car truly is attractive, with a hint of 'premium' VW, only better."
