I love MG, but be realistic, they are dying.
I`m an MG specialist garage, and I`ll tell you how many MG`s I`ve worked on since the start of July, 2 and one of them was my own. How many in June? 3, again one of them my own. The harsh reality is, the majority of MG`s are sub £1000 cars. Why does anyone want to spend half their value repairing or maintaining them? A head gasket failure or timing belt service and they get shot. Christ discs and pads all round on a 180 and they put it up for sale!!
An 02 plate 180 is a token gesture trade in. It`ll go to auction and struggle to make £500.

I have to agree i'm afraid, thats not to say there isnt the enthusiast base still, although perhaps smaller than it was, but stuff doesnt shift like it did, had a full brm interior sitting for about 3 months at 100 and no one has even been to see it, we are seeing far less MGs at work and rovers also.
