Production of MG TF LE 500 now underway
MG TFs now coming off the line at Longbridge...
PRODUCTION of the MGTF LE500 has commenced, as planned, at the
beginning of August 2008. For the first time since 2005 production of cars is
now in progress at the MG factory in Longbridge, Birmingham.
Corporate Communications Manager for MG UK Ltd, Eleanor De La Haye,
said; “We have all worked extremely hard to meet our commitment to commence
production of the MG TF LE500 in August. We are delighted to have reached this
important point and are looking forward to seeing the cars in showrooms shortly.”
The LE500 is a re-engineered version of the original TF design.
The new car is built in the UK and will benefit from a level of specification
that well above its price rivals. Owners of the new car will also have the services
of a dealer network that will offer first class support for the LE500, including
a personal technician for each and every new MG.
Gary Hagan, Director of Marketing for NAC MG UK Ltd, said “The
launch of this car also marks the re-introduction of the MG Brand to the UK.
Existing MG owners, our huge band of enthusiasts and fans of the authentic sports
car driving experience have looked forward to this day for a long time.”
The company is now confident of a successful launch of the MGTF
LE500, thanks to enthusiastic support for the car at various public and enthusiast
events throughout the summer. The public’s reaction was mimicked by the
new dealer network, who gave the car an equally warm reception at a recent launch
event. MG UK Ltd can now look beyond the LE500 to production of the MGTF.
