Electric M.G.’s in Luxembourg?
Our make M.G. is these days part of the Chinese group SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION. At Nanjing Automotive the 2 letters stood in the years 2005-2006 for “Modern Gentleman”, but this mistake was re-corrected into “Morris Garages” again. Already in 2016 SAIC LUX established a main headquarter in the Grand Duchy (https://www.globalfleet.com/en/company/saic-europe) to start M.G.-dealerships in Europe.
Hosingen (LUX) / February 2019
On the picture, you see the new electric MG E-ZS in the show room of Garage Reiter in Hosingen, who are camouflaging the new M.G. for test drives. Although this car is RHD, this dealer will soon get a second E-ZS in LHD. During a first contact with our president Maathuis Guy, the sales manger revealed, that they were contacted by SAIC, who were looking for a small company (instead of a big one, with several other car makes) to focus on the make M.G. and start a dealership by 2020. The MGCCL is looking forward to see new M.G.’s sold in Europe again and is planing a prosperous cooperation with this future M.G.-dealer.
Here a picture of the E-ZS driving around on Luxembourg plates made in Amsterdam on one of it’s test drives.
