Electric huh, I think I will stick with my Orange 1979 Midget

[V_TWIN]

“The highly-anticipated return...”

No.....try again

[jjotto]

They admit it’s Chinese-built, but MG as a brand is owned by SAIC, which is Chinese government owned.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Would love to have my old '59 MGA back.

Or my '54 TR2.

[1Old Pro]

I’d like it if it were an ICE.

In order to appeal to traditionalists, a special container will leak oil onto the garage floor, and vintage Lucas electronics will be used.

[caver]

Will it have Lucas electrics in it?

[mewzilla]

Not even if they were giving them away...

[PIF]

Electric! Keep it. Definitely not a MG

[Clarancebeaks]

Hope their not using Lucas electrics.

[Nik Naym]

The closest thing to an MGB you can buy today is a Mazda MX5. Some Chinese electric car is not even in the same league. It serves no purpose.

It’s sad that a once loved name is stuck on such an atrocity.

[Seruzawa]

Will Lucas be involved?

[rlmorel]

Hahahahaha...think it will have Lucas electronics in it????

Nice looking car, but...in my heart, it will never be an MG.

LOL, here is my MG back in 1979 at The Drum Corps International Finals in Birmingham, Alabama with a bunch of drum corps kids I let sit in my car.

The one in the driver seat is wearing my squadron hat...:)

(I absolutely must have been in a fine mood that day to let them sit in the car, especially the one with the ice cream!)

Heh, that car (my first car I bought) taught me all I need to know about being a car mechanic! And exponentially increased my colorful vocabulary at the same time!

[catnipman]

do the new ones come with their own mechanic like the old original ones?

[Mr Rogers]

If it has the electronics of my friend’s MGB, the wiper lever will turn on the radio...assuming it even starts!

[jonascord]

With Lucas electrics, the Prince of Darkness?

Had a TR-4A. The horn would beep and one headlight would flicker every time I hit a bump.

Nope.

[RobertoinAL]

Electric? You gotta be kidding. Does England have the infrastructure to charge electric vehicles? I’ll bet those brits would much more prefer a stud performance gas engine, with a great exhaust system. But, I may be wrong.

[icclearly]

Oh WOW!

I still prefer my 67 MGB roadster that I drove off the showroom floor in 1967 and have in my garage today.

Wonderful memories made in that little car!

We grew up together.

I had a 67 MGB, way back. Had dual carbs that had a small reservoir of oil in each one.

Since I was a youngster then, it was fun.
