MG Cars joins the forces Cars to offer preferential rates for their cars.

Serving and ex-forces personnel will be given the chance to fly the flag for MG Motor UK with a specialised discount scheme, thanks to a new partnership with Forces Cars Direct, sister company to Motor Source Group – the leading provider of new car discounts for serving and retired employees of the military, police, prison service, fire and rescue services, NHS and education sector. 

The agreement will see MG’s stylish vehicle range available to those who serve, or have served, in the armed forces at a special rate. The scheme will also benefit those working in the public sector, including teachers and NHS staff, who will also be offered preferential rates. 

The partnership with MG was born out of customer demand for a wider range of vehicles, with the MG3 Supermini and the company’s first SUV, the MG GS, fitting the bill perfectly. From this month (June), MG vehicles will be available to order through the Forces Cars Direct and Motor Source Group websites. 

Forces Cars Direct was set up in 2001 and quickly became the largest online company specialising in providing discounts to forces personnel. Over the past 14 years, the company has delivered more than 12,000 new vehicles to veterans, and has developed close relationships with many automotive manufacturers. 

Steve Thornton, Managing Director of Forces Cars Direct, commented: “We are very proud to welcome MG to the Forces Cars Direct family. The brand’s rich heritage, and growing reputation as a provider of affordable, quality cars, is what drove us to strike this deal. 

“Over the past 14 years, we have become the one-stop-shop for current and ex-forces personnel to gain access to a wide range of new cars. In addition, we have been able to extend this service, through the Motor Source Group, to individuals working across our public services, who we feel deserve to get something back for the magnificent work they contribute to society.” 

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing at MG Motor UK, added: “We are obviously delighted to develop this initiative and make our affordable range accessible to both current and veteran forces personnel. 

“Our dealer network already has very strong links into their communities, and is looking forward to spreading the Forces Cars Direct message too.”

MG grows as the market stagnates, thanks to the supermini MG3 and the All-New GS SUV.

MG Motor UK has hit the 2,000 sales mark for 2016 despite new car demand levelling in July.

Since the MG GS launched in June, customers have been flocking to dealerships and snapping up the latest addition even before the new registration plate in September. 

The sales of this affordable SUV have helped boost MG’s overall sales up by 15% from last year (year-to-date). The super-fun supermini MG3 has also continued to make a contribution.

Trade association, The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), described 2016 as having a healthy start but the market is now showing signs of cooling. Despite this, MG Motor sold 305 units in July – which is a 28% increase on last year. The industry average for this month was 0.06% and MG’s year-to-date figure was five times more than the industry average of 2.82%.

Interest in the brand, an affordable line-up, and great deals are all contributing to the continued success of MG. The quarter three deals currently running are as follows*:

MG GS

• MG is offering an £850 deposit contribution on all MG GS models
• The SUV is available on 0% APR representative finance. This is available up to five years with a minimum 20% deposit
• The MG GS comes, as standard, with a five year or 80,000 mile (which occurs first) manufacturer parts and labour warranty

MG3

• A £900 deposit contribution is available on all MG3 models
• The MG3 is available on 0% APR representative finance. This is available up to five years with minimum 20% deposit
• All new MG3s come with one year’s free insurance, a deal that can be coupled with other offers on finance
• Customers who registered for a test drive via the incentive scheme are eligible for a free gift

• Customers who registered for a test drive via the incentive scheme are eligible for a free gift

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing for MG, said: “We’re so pleased that the year is continuing to go as well as it started for us. The MG GS has been a great addition to the model line-up and we’re thrilled to see that customers aren’t waiting for the new registration month to get their hands on it.”
