    NANJING AUTOMOBILE CORPORATION (UK) LTD

    This company was set up on the 7th October 2005 as the British arm of the Nanjing Automobile Corporation based in Nanjing China. Although registered as a UK company for manufacture of motor vehicles, it is currently a non-trading company with the manufacture and sale of MG vehicles being left to it’s subsidiary company - MG Motor UK Ltd.



    MG MOTOR UK LTD

    This is a subsidiary company of Nanjing Automobile Corporation (UK) Ltd set up on the 12th April 2006, one year and 4 days after the collapse of MG-Rover, to mark the return of MG manufacture to the UK. Originally registered in the UK as “NAC MG UK LIMITED”, it changed its name on the 8th January 2009 to “MG MOTOR UK LTD” following the merger of the Nanjing Automobile Corporation China with the Shanghai Automobile Industries Corporation (SAIC). The abbreviation "NAC" was dropped from the name due to the MG brand becoming a brand owned by SAIC rather than NAC.

    According to a 17th February 2009 news item on the Nanjing Automobile Corporation China web site, the name MG Motor UK Ltd is shortened to “MG UK” for translation to Chinese, a fact reflected on the totem pole outside the Longbridge factory when read in the traditional Chinese way of top to bottom first followed by right to left:
