Enthusiasts invited to name new access roads around famous MG factory

Further development work at MG Motor UK’s famous Longbridge factory has prompted a unique opportunity for enthusiaststs to name roads at the facility.

The carmaker is renaming five access roads to the new site and is asking MG owners, club members and fans to give MG orientated suggestions.

After being partly demolished in 2005 with the loss of Rover, Longbridge looks set to recover under the financial security of owner SAIC.

The new road names will reflect the heritage of the MG brand, which is currently gearing up to build its new model, the MG 6.

Winning entrants will be given an invitation to Longbridge and the chance to be photographed alongside ‘their’ new road sign.

With the deadline for suggestions set for Friday, 26 February, ideas can be submitted via the 'contact us' section at MG road name competition

I'm sure MG enthusiasts will be able to supply names of historical significance.

Isn't that the problem? The MG you all remember hasn't existed for over 50 years!

The current version of MG is nothing more than in name.

My first car was an MG Metro, and it was great fun.

Couldn't agree more, it was a cracking drive for the time. Given the competition, I'd have happily bought one if I'd had the money.
