Hello,

this video, about the media brief for the MG 6 (february 2011) :

I don't speak about "Phoenix four" : don't forget that the chinese Phoenix (Fenghuang) is very positive, like the Yang (lol)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenghuang)

The Phoenix is a good symbol for "longevity"...

New MG6 at Goodwood Festival of Speed

19.05.10

• 
  

Goodwood Festival of Speed’s famous hill run will be the venue
for an exclusive preview of the exciting new MG6 sports fastback. The
new 1.8-litre turbocharged five-door will be built by MG Motor UK at
the MG Birmingham plant and is due to be officially launched later this
year. But visitors to the prestigious Goodwood festival in July
will be among the first people in Britain to see the new car. And some
invited guests will have the opportunity to get behind the wheel and
drive the MG6 on a special three-mile course, incorporating the famous
hill run, at Goodwood House in West Sussex. This year, for the
first time, the festival will stage an additional day called the Moving
Motor Show on July 1 when some guests will be invited to drive the
course. The sight of an MG at Goodwood will bring back happy
memories for Lord March, the man behind the revival of Goodwood as a key
motoring venue in the UK. He said: “My grandfather, Freddie
March, used to race MGs and it will be fantastic to see an all-new MG
back on our roads. It will mark another historic link between Goodwood
and one of the world’s most iconic brands.” MG Motor UK currently
builds the MG TF two-seater sports car,
sold through 41 MG dealerships
and costs £13, 799 on the road. The MG6 will be the first all-new
MG to be produced at the MG Birmingham plant in 15 years. Full details
and prices of the MG6 will be announced nearer the launch date. During
the three day Goodwood Festival of Speed, from July 2-4, visitors will
be able to see both the MG TF and pre-production versions of the MG6 at
the MG stand.

and his wife at The Royal Windsor MG Heritage Festival in April. John
said "we used to use the MG C to go on long distance journeys abroad
and to continental events, but now we have sold the MG C, the TF LE500
was an ideal replacement" John has been a member of the MG Car
Club for 20 years and attends MG events regularly. John said "Many
people in the club own TFs and now I have the latest version out of all
of the members". Andrew Soul, Dealer Principal at Souls of
Olney said "Mr Burton is a true MG enthusiast and it was a pleasure to
be involved in his latest MG purchase. He brought his 1928 MG 14/40 MK
IV with him when he came to collect his new car and we were amazed by
the immaculate condition it was in."The MG TF LE 500 is available from £16,055 on-the-road. (£14,055 with the government scrappage scheme)

MG Men Behind the Scenes 6

25.08.09

• 
  

Richard Hales Regional Operations Manager I
joined MG in September 2008 having an extensive AfterSales background
with MG as the Field Technical Manager and have since progressed to
Regional Operations Manager. Basically I manage a third of the MG
dealers which cover all of Scotland down to the East coast as far as
Colchester; yes, a very large area where the dealers are well spread
out. The role is to support the dealers in all aspects of operations
for Sales and AfterSales. This is indeed a challenge which brings great
rewards. I thoroughly enjoy meeting different people and working with
them. The summer has seen our dealers carry out various outdoor
events promoting the new MG brand and products. I have supported some
of these and managed to get sun burnt at a Royal show, soaked at a
shopping centre and frozen at a country show. I volunteered to help at
these because I wanted to gauge for myself the general public’s
reaction to the new MGs! There has been a definite correlation to
dealers taking the cars out of the dealerships to local events in terms
of subsequent sales. The message of “MG is BACK” is starting to get
around! Like many jobs, Mondays are always very busy days and
today is no different. I have been working on the Monday morning
reports that my dealers send me in order to capture all the previous
weeks’ sales data. I’m pleased to say July was a great month for retail
and wholesale and August is looking good also. With my admin
completed its time to set off to my first dealer visit of the day to an
MG dealership in Cambridge, this takes me just over an hour journey
time whilst I can take dealers phone calls (good job I have a good
hands free kit). Keeping the communication with my dealers is an
important part of this role. Dealers often want on the spot information
which can be crucial to capturing a sale. Then it’s off again
for a 3 hour journey to our dealer in Harrogate. Due to the journey
time I will stay in a hotel, which provides a chance to check my emails
and attend to any issues. It also provided me with the opportunity to
compile this article. Tuesday I have more appointments across the
region I operate within. Do I enjoy my job? Definitely, and the highlight is when I see a dealer hand over a beautiful MG TF to its proud new owner. This is an exciting time for all involved.

The
International Mini meeting and Mini’s 50th birthday was held at Cofton
Park in Longbridge, the home of Mini on Friday 7th until Sunday 9th
August 2009. The International Mini meeting occurs every five years and
with it being held in conjunction with Mini’s 50th birthday, it seemed
very fitting that the event was held at Longbridge, where Minis were
manufactured continuously for 41 years. There were many classic
Minis on display at the event, including Minis manufactured in 1959,
the Mini 40, the RSP Cooper, the Mini Moke and many more. A very
special Mini Heritage Run took place on Saturday 8th August 2009 from
the Heritage Motor Centre to the IMM’s Mini 50th celebrations at Cofton
Park and on Sunday 9th August a cavalcade of Minis went from Cofton
Park along a designated route into Centenary Square, and then Broad
Street in the centre of Birmingham. The event attracted visitors from
all over the world, including Spain, America, Portugal and Australia.
Crowds gathered on Saturday and Sunday at the MG Motor UK Ltd
Headquarters, Longbridge to watch Russ Swift do some Mini stunt driving
to the Italian job theme tune. MG Motor UK Ltd had a stand at
the event, which displayed the new 85th Anniversary car, which is
available in three limited edition colours, new 16’’ alloy wheel
design, new interior trim, exclusive 85th graphics and ‘TF85’ branded
alloy gear lever, the base model TF 135
available in seven colours with a 1.8 16v N Series engine for £13,511
OTR and the TF LE500, which comes with a free hard top, piano black
interior, rear parking sensors, 16’’ alloy wheels and each car is
individually numbered for £16,055 OTR. Jack Safiruddin, MG
Motor UK Ltd Sales & Aftersales Operations Manager said ‘’The Mini
and MG have a lot in common, both cars are iconic, British and
Longbridge is their home. It was wonderful to be part of such a
significant event and great to see such a large turnout of fans, who
travelled from all over of the World to celebrate Mini’s 50th
birthday.’’

for the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, including a total of
more than £11,500 for an auction that was sponsored by the company. • MG Sponsorship helps raise more than £50k
• Over 800 MG cars involved
• Three New MGs on display The MG Heritage Festival The money was raised as part of the MG Heritage Festival, of which MG was the main sponsor
and which took place at Windsor Castle in May. The event, which was
jointly organised by the Rotary Club of Windsor & Eton and the MG
Owners Club, has been hailed a success by organisers, sponsors and the
thousands of MG owners and spectators that participated. Jack
Safiruddin, Sales & Aftersales Operations Manager for MG, said;
“The money raised will be used by the Rotary Club to support the work
of The Prince’s charity. We are clearly delighted that MG was able to
sponsor and play such an active part in raising such a large sum of
money for such a worthy cause.” Event Marks 85th Anniversary of MG The announcement of the fundraising total is the culmination of the Windsor event which was held to mark the 85th anniversary of MG.
The festival was attended by HRH Prince Philip, who watched over 200
MGs parade through the quadrangle of Windsor Castle, including the new family of MGs – the MGTF LE500, the new MGTF 135 and the unique MGTF 85th Anniversary. Rotary’s
Event Treasurer, David Osmond, concluded: “We are absolutely delighted
that, after two years planning, the Royal Windsor MG Heritage Festival
was such a successful event with over 800 MG cars participating. We are
extremely grateful to MG Motor UK Ltd for their support and their sole
sponsorship of the prize draw which raised £11,563. The principal
beneficiary of the event will be The Prince Philip Trust Fund for the
Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead which, chaired by Prince
Philip, supports a wide range of deserving causes in the Royal Borough.
Rotary Charities, locally, nationally and internationally will also
benefit.”
