Steve.
Actually, timmy boy, they are making "NEW CARS". Idiot!
Who is this "Madmax" and why is it arguing, insulting and disrupting this forum?
I see that our sad f*ck of a troll is still here and still not taking his medication....never mind one day his sad life will become all to much even for himself and he'll go out into the back yard and swallow some lead.
and MAX for your own information a 3 doorhatchback is not a Austin/Morris/Leyland/BMC or Rover based vehicle. Its is built by a toatly different company, on a toatly different platform with a totaly different engine, the only thing it has in common with a Mini is that its name uses the same letter but all in upper case.
What part of those simple facts is it that you just f>
Notice the way it's MG and no mention of Rover ? (They must have experience of things like the Rover 75 et al) Some quick legal reasoning, it should be possible to make and MG S or if Cooper put a seal on it an MG Cooper S perhaps ?? :-) It aint gonna happen but, it would be nice.

Tim,
Slow down and read what I said. They are making a new car. I didn't say anything about the old models of the mini cooper. Maybe you have been drinking to much coffee. Really, slow down, take your time, perhaps this will help you make some kind of sense. On the other hand it is quite probable that you are mentally challenged. You are a genuine fool. As far as me eating lead....I will keep my sights on you, little man.

when you have somthing of value to say on the NG subject, IE The Mini then we will all listen, in the meantimes...the way out is behind you...
Maybe, but I got your attention. The way out may be behind me, but I will continue forward.
if living your life as an inbreed troll is your idea of forward, go ahead, but its a sad lonely excistance and only confirms what most on this NG already think.....
so why not go all the way forward to the decompos>
Maybe when I get to be as old as you timmy. Not yet anyway. Why don't you get buried in your little go cart of a car, old man.
This is how I understand it.
Saic pulled out of the bidding once they got the Rover 75 and MG-F car rights, Nanjing bought and now own MG (that's about a quarter of the Longbridge site, machines and the MG name).
Rover however is still owned by BMW, it is up for sale as a name and Ford have first refusal. This was agreed when Ford got Landrover.
The Rover/MG 45/ZS can no longer be built as Honda have repossessed all of their technology and licences.
This leaves Nanjing with just the 25/ZR and the Cityrover, However Nanjing think that they can build the 75 as the ZT but Saic actually own the rights last I heard. Nanjing were supposed to be setting up a small sports car manufacturer (MG) at Longbridge employing 5000 workers. And NO, they will never be able to rebuild the Mini even with a different name. The French put a stop to the Mini by branding it an unsafe (out of date) car compared to modern cars.
Things could have changed again buy now but that's how I understand it.
WOW! The French are smarter than I thought.
