Down the road from me there is an ex-MG ROver garage, now Honda. There are MGs/Rovers there that have been sat there for what must be well over a year by now.


Just curious as to if anyone knows what will happen to them? I can't see them selling anyt time soon!

They'll sell if the price is right. The dealer can't accept they're worth diddley-squat.

Finance House or a bank could own them and haven't accepted reality?

Only fit for spares, unless very cheap.

They are either asking too much money or there is an issue over ownership. MG's certainly will sell if priced right and, to be honest, don't sell for significantly less than other similar cars now there are places to buy spares and get them serviced.

Sure, they are cheap and something like a ZT 190+ is a rediculously good car for the money but a similar age and mileage Mondeo 2.5 or Vectra wouldn't be worth a lot more.
