Here is the link my ex MG exec friend sent me. Looks like they say they will
produce a new Midget and 5 new models, no mention of MGF or anything about
USA, only that they expect to expand in Europe and create about 2,000 jobs at
Longbridge.

"A Chinese company may yet save car production at Birmingham's vast
Longbridge plant following the crash of MG Rover in April - but not
the long-time favourites Shanghai Automotive."
"The Press Association was reporting tonight that administrators
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) had confirmed the sale to Nanjing and
thus ensure a limited return of production at the iconic Midlands
factory, where 6,000 workers had been employed until the collapse of
Rover."
