I think the majority have dealer status for another brand...or are specialising in perhaps nearly new cars from another brand.
I guess it must be a struggle for the faitfull dealers that are hanging on

My local one probably makes most of its money from servicing, mainly MG and Rover, but it also sells used cars, mainly not MG or Rover. The showroom only has MGs in, not just the TF but also F, B and midget. I've also seen they have a 1300 and an apparantly unused ZS180MkII - kept under wraps!

the franchised dealers I am thinking of have another marque as their main one. It would be interesting to know how many of the 40(?) MG dealers have another franchise and, if so, what... another main source of income is certainly needed!
