Chinese Acquisition of MG by Nanjing Automobile

[jffailla]

Found the following info on Forbes website regarding Chinese acquisition of MG: GO to: http://www.forbes.com/business/2005/07/22/mg-rover-nanjing-purchase-cx_pm_07 22chinacars.html?partner=yahootix Maybe Nanjing will produce limited edition updated versions of anniversary models of the classic T models in 50 mpg format. Will we someday go to a "Sam's Club to purchase our cars and parts ? Could bring new meaning to "Back to the Future". It will be interesting to see just how clever these people really are.

Rumor has it they will come with Datson steering boxes, MG A rear ends, Volvo B-9 engines,Genuine imitation vinyl and simulated wood grain dash. No truth that the wings will be aluminum, genuine fiberglass, semi-monoque(sp?) frame, with real working electrics from a Kia, 12 inch wheels and tires from a Japanese econo box. Comes in either left or right hand drive (don't you love the TC adds that brag 'right hand drive') ? Options: electric pusher fuel pumps, LED tail-lights, halogen headlights, CD player in boot, US version will have fuel tank relocated inside frame rails. moved forward to avoid danger of rear collision, into the boot area behind the seat. PTH

Brilliant! Hopefully they can also add some sturdy cupholders, and a DVD system to entertain the kiddies on a long drive. Now that would be a REAL TC! -Rick, TC 7881 Paul Huck paulhuck@bellsouth.net> wrote: Rumor has it they will come with Datson steering boxes, MG A rear ends, Volvo B-9 engines,Genuine imitation vinyl and simulated wood grain dash.

.....and maybe will thus be so much better for it!!! Tradition???? Heritage???? What's it matter these days...apparently even the Poms now consider these items expendable. Silly old farts huddling together for mutual support on lists such as this seem to be the only sources of concern. Maybe we all should wake up and realise...'The Gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead"... it seems the sun, finally, HAS set on the empire. And what's it all matter in the greater scheme of things,... eh? Reddo '..Play up! Play up! and play the game.....' 2nd. bottle 3rd. glass -----Original Message----- From: mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Huck Sent: Friday, 29 July 2005 9:26 AM To: MG TABC; jffailla Subject: Re: [mg-tabc] Chinese Acquisition of MG by Nanjing Automobile Rumor has it they will come with Datson steering boxes, MG A rear ends, Volvo B-9 engines,Genuine imitation vinyl and simulated wood grain dash.
