Title
MG
Description
MG cars had their roots in a 1920s sales promotion sideline of Morris Garages, a retail sales and service center in Oxford belonging to William Morris. The business's manager, Cecil Kimber, modified standard production Morris Oxfords. M.G. Car Company Limited was incorporated in July 1930. It remained Morris's personal property until 1 July 1935, when he sold it to his holding company, Morris Motors Limited.
MG underwent many changes in ownership over the years. Morris's Nuffield Organization merged with Austin to create the British Motor Corporation Limited (BMC) in 1952. It was renamed the MG Division of BMC in 1967, and in 1968 became part of the British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC). The MG marque continued to be used by the successors of BLMC: British Leyland, the Rover Group and, by the start of 2000, the MG Rover Group, which entered receivership in 2005. Nanjing Automobile Group purchased MG Rover and in 2007 it became part of the SAIC Motor Corp.
