MG TF LE500 launch promo

FOR RELEASE 00.00 THURSDAY 8TH MAY 2008

LAUNCH DATE ANNOUNCED FOR MG TF LE500

MG has announced that production of the TF LE500 sportscar will commence at their Longbridge plant in Birmingham at the beginning of August, with the first cars delivered to showrooms in September.

Chairman for NAC MG UK Ltd, Mr He, Xiao Qing, said; "I am delighted to be in a position to talk about a launch date for the TF LE500 following a process of planning, re-organisation, active quality improvements and parts optimisation that we recognise resulted in frustration for our stakeholders. We are now fully focussed on bringing our hard work to fruition."

The new car is expected to appeal to a wide range of car buyers looking for the authentic sportscar driving experience, as well as existing small sportscar owners looking to upgrade, current owners and the large band of MG enthusiasts.

Gary Hagen, Director of Sales & Marketing continued, "The open top sportscar is an iconic image of British motoring and forms the basis of the MG marque's long pedigree. The launch of the TF LE500 signals our determination to keep this class of car at the heart of the brand as we take it forward."

With the launch of the new TF LE500, the company knows that it is also re-launching one of the best known and best loved brands in the world. Whilst production efforts at Longbridge are focussed on the LE500, designers at their SMTC facility in Leamington, Warwickshire are already planning exciting newMG models that will capture the essential qualities of the MG brand and extend the range into additional sectors.

The commitment planned by MG and the level of investment underwritten by SAIC will persuade doubters that the MG brand is being re-launched with the support to make it successful again. The fact is that in 2008, desirable and competitive British made sportscars will once again be rolling off a production line in Longbridge. A sight that many thought they might never see again.

Funky music ^-^

@Tariqslo You presume quite alot. You presume I dont have first hand experience of this car. Which is incorrect. You also presume because you happen to own this "piece of british engineering" you are uniquely qualified to pass comment on it.

You,my friend, are the fool for buying one. Poorly built with dull rubber handling.

You are entitled to your own opinion and bad taste. The fact you presume says far more about your intellect than just owning one of these shitboxes does.

This vehicle is an absolute joy n fun and a massive bang for the buck.

@mushroomscouser My friend one of the worst things you can do is not using that thing that sits on your neck. Listening to others and taking other peoples thoughts and opinions as granted is not only foolish but just ignorant.

I own this piece of British engineering and as while my example hasn't got any flaws, there is a fault or two on the model, but tell me how many others (well spoken of) are faultless. Even you clearly have shown having a fault or two that doesn't make you a bad person.

Bad music...worse car. Would give the driver one though, bingo wings and all! But that Hi Vi jacket is so last season!
