The MG marque was founded in Oxford in 1924 by Cecil Kimber. After passing through the British Motor Corporation, British Leyland and BMW ownership, it was bought from the defunct MG Rover Group by Nanjing Automobile Corporation in 2005.
SAIC Motor, a Chinese state-owned carmaker, gained control in December 2007 when it acquired Nanjing Automobile. Cars are developed by SAIC and built mainly in China, with only brief assembly at the Longbridge plant in the UK from 2007 to 2016.
