I did a little research. Apparently the version of the TF was assembled from CKDs in the UK at Longbridge. At least some British factory workers had some income from the deal. Too bad it didn't sell well.

Well, if you bought it off the Chinese Government, then yes. But otherwise, the importer or dealer that you bought it off, same as any other car made anywhere else.

As for the rest, this is so much like when MG/Rover produced the ZR/ZS/ZT, Austin/Rover the MG variants of the Metro/Maestro/Montego, MG the MGB, and so on back through history. One thing that never changes is the refrain "It's not a proper MG ...". Aside from the appearance let's wait and see what it is like before totally condemning it.

And if something goes horribly wrong, who do you get to sue? The Chinese government? Good luck.
