MG ZR - MG Rover Collapse

MG Rover Collapse

In April 2005, MG Rover's proposed takeover by SAIC collapsed and the company went into receivership. Nanjing Automobile eventually bought the company's assets three months later, but when the MG range was relaunched in 2007 the ZR and ZS were not included in the model range. It was replaced by the MG3 SW in 2008, sold to the Chinese market only. In 2010, SAIC announced a new MG3 concept car to replace the ZR which is due to enter the UK market in late 2011 or early 2012. It is expected to come with a 1.3 or 1.5 engine.
