MG Motor are an iconic, British car manufacturer best known for their stylish, two-seated sports cars. They began producing cars in the 1920s and are now based in Birmingham.

In 2016, they achieved success at our Towcar of the Year Awards, with their MG6 S DTI-TECH winning our top award for the Vehicles Under £17,500 category.
