The history of MG Motor
MG Motor has British origins and was officially established in 1924. The abbreviation MG stands for Morris Garagesthe name of the dealer in Oxford that belonged to William Morris. It was in this environment that Cecil Kimber, then head of the company, began to develop sportier versions of the Morris models, laying the foundations for a brand that quickly became known for the production of light, accessible cars with a focus on driving pleasure.
Throughout the 1930s to the 1960s, MG became one of the symbols of British sports cars, particularly with its compact roadsters that conquered markets such as Great Britain and the United States. Models such as the MGB helped strengthen the company’s reputation as a maker of elegant and relatively affordable sports cars, and linked the brand to a strong car culture and owners’ clubs that are still active today.
From the second half of the 20th century, MG underwent several changes of ownership and became part of groups such as the British Motor Corporation and British Leyland. After the bankruptcy of MG Rover in 2005, the brand was bought by the Chinese company Nanjing Automobilelater incorporated into SAIC Motorthe current owner. Although MG today belongs to a Chinese group, the company maintains a design center in the UK and combines its British heritage with a strategy aimed at electric and hybrid vehicles in the global market.
