Colley Motors in Cwmbran, South Wales is the sixth new MG dealership to open this year as the franchise network continues to grow.
The Colley Motor Group was founded 43 years ago by brothers John and Bob Colley, and already represents Hyundai and SsangYong.
John Colley said: “We are proud to have been awarded an MG dealership. The brand is truly iconic and we have been very impressed with the new MG6 models which we are really looking forward to selling.
“We are a family business and the MG brand fits in well with our business. It’s a brand that has both a strong heritage and a really exciting future.”
Robert Jones, general manager, said: “To be in at the start of the new MG business is really exciting. We have a really dedicated workforce here and everyone is fully behind making the MG franchised a big success.
“The MG6 is the first of a new breed of MGs and it is an impressive car. I think a lot of our customers will be attracted by the value for money that it offers – you certainly get a lot of car for your money.”
Sales have started, however an official opening event will be held on January 10.
Earlier this year the following new MG dealerships opened: Beechwood in Derby, Pinkstone Cars in Stoke-on-Trent, Rivervale in Brighton, Charles Warner in Lincoln and Brown & Gammons in Baldock, Herts.

I heard from an MG source last week that 5 dealers terminated there franchise's due to poor dealer support and lack of marketing ideas.
