During this time the engineers at Longbridge have worked on the MG 6 which is based on the Roewe 550 to make it ready for UK launch. MG Motors was created as the UK manufacturing company for SAIC and in April 2011 began manufacturing the MG 6 from semi-knocked-down (SKD) kits that come from the SAIC Lingang Plant China. The cars arrive from China, essentially complete, requiring only the fitting of engine and front suspension, nose trim and wheels at Longbridge which no longer has functional body welding/assembly or paint shops. Production of the MG TF was discontinued around this time; a mere 906 having been built at Longbridge since production restarted almost three years previously. Production of the MG 3 super mini began at Longbridge in 2012, and by 2014 there were some 400 people working there, up from just over 200 people who were there when production restarted.
