May 2026 SafetyFast! now online

27th April 2026

As a Club that caters for all MG models, and with the recent formation of our MG Motor Register, we continue to keep a close eye on developments at MG Motor. At present, the marque finds itself in one of the most transformative periods since its rebirth under SAIC.

electrification, value engineering, and rapid product expansion.
