The only RHD MGs are made in Birmingham AFAIK and this launch is scarcely 5 weeks away. Are these the first exports of MGs from the UK?

The cars will come directly from Lingang.

Both the MG6 and MG3* are built in China, albeit with much engineering input from the company's British arm.

*For those seeking their MG style in a smaller wrapping, the MG3 will be launched next year and, although prices have not yet been finalised, the indicative prices range between R139 000 and R160 000, pitching them slightly above sub-B offerings such as the Ford Figo and VW Polo Vivo, but below the more modern Fiesta and Polo. With its fairly cheeky design elements, and black pillars and roof, the little MG is sure to attract some attention in its segment.

The new MG6 has two variants: the Fastback and the Saloon. Each has a standard, comfort and deluxe version. Truly something for everyone!
