I believe the MG brand - which was once much loved as a UK maker of sports cars - is now used on Chinese made EV's.

---

you can still have a petrol only MG car in the UK https://www.mg.co.uk/new-cars/mg3

but yes, wholly owned by the Chinese state's entity SAIC.

massively successful worldwide, making nearly a million vehicles a year and will continue to grow as buyers ditch other brands for political and/or economic reasons.

EV sales are mirroring bike sales across Europe with a substantial adoption of South and East Asian products.

Holy cow! Those MG's look like Toyotas. My dad had an MG Sprite in the 1960's, I had a well-used MG in the 1970's (wire wheels, leaky convertible top, but I loved it). Later in the 1970's I bought a problem-plagued brand new Triumph Spitfire. The story was that with all the labor strikes in the UK then, a Spitfire's production would be repeatedly stopped, the strike ended, production started, but there was no manufacturing continuity, so the cars had one problem after another. I wisely bought an extended warranty when I bought the car (dealer thought it was greatly to his benefit). After about a dozen service calls for one failure after another (including one where the manual transmission's gears simply vaporized into metal powder), the dealer begged me to sell the car! LOL!

You guys over in the UK clearly see more RSs than we do here. I have only seen an RS once on the road there in Houston.

At the dealership I used to go to I have never seen one, and at my latest favourite dealership I have seen 2 in the parking lot - but that does not count as I did not see them while riding. But in all of those cases the RS was the Granite Grey - never seen a Lupin Blue on the road or in the dealership parking lots ever, except on our Arkansas Ride ins.

Well, lucky you!

At 9.36 on the A3M heading north just above junction 3(Waterlooville) a grey and white one.

Yep, me, even though mine is usually Lupin Blue

Don't blame you for changing the colour. Lupin Blue are 10 a penny.......
