ICBirmingham, the city newspaper which is literally a million miles away from Qingdao, China, is reporting that the first MG7 has been sold in China.
The first MG has been sold in China by Nanjing Automobile Corporation as the firm’s takeover by Shanghai Automotive gathers pace.
The car, a MG 7 - Nanjing’s version of the Rover 75 - was sold at a dealership at the coastal city of Qingdao.
The dealership is one of 47 which have been signed up across China by Nanjing as it gears up to launch the TF later this year.
Prices for the MG 7 start at 170,000 yuan (£11,292) for a basic 1.8 turbo engine, going up to 300,280 yuan (£19,946) for the top-ofthe-range 2.5 V6 flagship edition MG7.
This version is the stretched edition and is 100mm longer than the regular MG7s.
China Car Times has been looking high, and low for the MG dealership in Qingdao, we are amazed that this fellow managed to first find the dealership, and second pay them. We cant find them, at all.
The dealerships new owner probably had to buy one as part of the deal….. Wouldn’t be appropriate for him to drive around in his Merc or Lexus anymore.
