When talking about MG marque, I am sure most people would be confused by its history, especially its owners, because the owners of MG were changed frequently from the first owner M.G. Car Company Limited to the 8th owner SAIC motor since 2007.
In 2007, SAIC Motor became the owner of MG marque, and a few MG cars began to be manufactured in China such as MG 7, MG TF and so on. However, please note that the manufacturer of these MG cars are Nanjing Automobile Group.
MG TF is the first MG roadster car manufactured in China from 2007 to 2011, in fact, the MG TF was manufactured in Europe by MG Rover from 2002 to 2005.
In diecast models market, you can find the 1/18 MG TF diecast model manufactured by RICKO in different colors such as yellow, blue, red and golden, and it is the replica model of 2007 MG TF released in China.
After the discontinued of MG TF in 2011, there is no MG roadster car released in China more than a decade, and in 2023, new MG roadster car with nameplate MG Cyberster was manufactured by SAIC motor, and it is a battery electric roadster.
About one year after the MG Cyberster released, its diecast car model now is available for both car collectors and Cyberster car owner. As a new released diecast model, the quality of this 1/18 MG Cyberster model is better than the old MG TF model, however, only the Cyberster model in red is available until now.
