OMG-literally!

[Cavcraft]

Right, new to all this scanning malarkey so don't shoot the messenger please. Today I accomplished something of a previously planned shite mission, covertly, and undercoverly, sneaking into a new car showroom to bring you these...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More to come (if anyone's interested) later...

[tonedepear]

Does that say Union Blue?

[Cavcraft]

Does that say Union Blue?

 

Indeed it does but surely it should be red?

[whitevanman]

I'm impressed that they have something other than the silver-black range of colours most manufacturers seem to have for the last 6 years......good on the Chinese I say

[garbaldy]

What a coincidence i was just looking at these on the internet last night at a garage in Newcastle for £15k, might have a wander down and have a proper look in the flesh, bet they loose money worse than big citroens though.

My thoughts exactly!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Not to belittle your mission impossible style brochure heist but you know you can download this stuff from their website, right?

[Father Ted]

I was behind a black one leaving Asda this morning.

 

It was so unassuming it took me a while to realise it was an MG.

Or alternatively, for the VW worshippers......

 

[outlaw118]

Do Sniffpetrol actually like these, or am I missing some kind of ironic joke here?

Anyway, heres one for GM lovers....thats YOU Billy...

 

Blue oval fans?

[Owain-328i]

I think it looks a cracking car, lets hope its well built and reliable aswell

[AnthonyG]

I do hope the've improved the reliability of that 1.8 Turbo engine. As discussed in the Rover 75 thread, they are like a dose of the clap as far as the trade are concerned.

[RedSparrow]

Top undercover shite-work sir!

 

The marketing makes them look well, not bad actually.

[andrew e]

I believe Mr Sniff is a huge Firm fan. I also believe MSG's marketing campaign is PISS POOR alas, the only customers for them appear to have been kidnapped from Dignitas.

 

 

 

These are from MG's own PR team...

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

They had to keep the car covered in order to minimise the possibility of a last-minute change of mind.

This photo was taken at the local Black Country MG dealers Summit Garage of Lower (don't mention the pig on the wall ) Gornal, who are also the local dealers for Perodua An ideal combination for the more affluent two-car family?

[Lankytim]

I just LOLLED my tits off at those MG ads and when I started telling the Mr's about them she told me to shut up as she wasn't interested. Miserable bag!

Impressive trousers! Just out of shot is the old boy's shed of a Montego Countryman full of spares taken in part-ex...

[RedSparrow]

Yep. 'So my Supercover is still valid isn't it?'

[R9UKE]

I saw one of these in rush hour yesterday and had to do a reg check on my phone to find out what the hell it was. It's like an Insignia has shagged a Proton Gen 2. Doesn't look half bad at all to be honest!

Finalists in the Lakeland Games all-comers wrestling contest get a sneak preview of the prize just before starting their match

[Autoplas]

Oh stop it's ghastly

[gtd2000]

Looks pretty sharp but can't see that I'd choose one of these over a well established brand from Korea...

 

Perhaps in 2 years time when it's worth £1500 I might give one a try

[Pillock]

I like that MG6. Yeah it's probably no better built than a Fiat, but it's not a Silver Mondeo and on that, I'm in.

Went past a MG dealer in Loughborough not long back, gave it a bit of a WTF? as I didn't realise they'd got to the point of setting up a dealer network. Honestly thought the plans to revive the name would amount to nothing. I'm a bit worried about their advertising though, they're pushing features such as "McPherson Strut Suspension" and "Halogen Headlights" that pretty much every car right down to a Perodua Nippa has. Are they that bad spec?

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

At least they didn't mention electronic ignition.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I'd have one of these just off the back of their shite credentials, which are super strong I reckon. Plus its a car with an interesting 'heritage' innit, I like that.

 

Their marketing efforts are laughable, just adds to the appeal for me though.

[trigger]

I saw these one's at a show a few months ago, I kinda like them but they are far too over priced, If they came with a KIA or Hyundai badge I wouldn't have bat an eyelid as that's what i thought they were.

[chaseracer]

Why have they all got Ipswich plates? Pre-registration, to massage the sales figures? Long way from B31, where they're (ahem...) 'built'.

 

Just like all those Renaults with HV/HX/HY Portsmouth numbers...
