Rover to unveil new models in bid to secure future
MG Rover Group is to unveil its latest line of cars as it looks to consolidate its position in the world car market.
Chief executive Kevin Howe takes the wraps off three MG models plus an MG special edition at the firm's Longbridge plant in Birmingham.
The announcement comes eight months after the Phoenix Consortium bought the company for a nominal £10 from German owners BMW.
Since then, the firm says it has increased productivity, and managed to sell 200,000 cars worldwide last year and sold 30% more in the UK last month than in the same period while under BMW's ownership.
The announcement comes a week after MG Rover said it is to return to the world of competitive motorsport and plans to race two MG Lola sports cars in the Le Mans 24-hour race in June.
It will also enter cars in the World and British Rally Championships as well as the British touring car championships.
