Members of the public are finally getting the chance to get their hands on the UK model and see for themselves what an outstanding car this is,” said Matthew Cheyne, MG’s head of sales and marketing.
“We’re extremely proud of the GS, so we’re looking forward to unveiling it and speaking to attendees of the event about how easily it will fit into their lifestyle. I can assure potential customers that it will be consistent with the MG-family pricing strategy.”
