History of MG Motor
MG Motor has British origins and was officially born in 1924. The acronym MG means Morris Garagesname of the Oxford dealership owned by William Morris. In that environment Cecil Kimber, then director of the company, began to develop sportier versions of the Morris models, giving life to a brand that quickly established itself for the production of light, accessible and driving pleasure-oriented cars.
Between the 1930s and 1960s MG became one of the symbols of the British sports car, especially with its compact roadsters which conquered markets such as the United Kingdom and the United States. Models such as the MGB helped cement the company’s reputation as a builder of elegant and relatively affordable sports cars, associating the brand with a strong automotive culture and owners’ clubs that are still active today.
Since the second half of the 20th century, MG has gone through several changes of ownership, becoming part of groups such as the British Motor Corporation and British Leyland. After the bankruptcy of MG Rover in 2005, the brand was acquired by the Chinese company Nanjing Automobilelater incorporated into SAIC Motorcurrent owner. Today, despite belonging to a Chinese group, MG maintains a design center in the United Kingdom and combines its British heritage with a strategy aimed at electric and hybrid vehicles in the global market.
