A NORTH-EAST car dealer is on the forefront of a wave of change sweeping the UK motor scene.

Founded in 1973 by the former rally driver whose name it still bears, Fred Henderson Ltd is a Durham-based car dealership which is still leading the field today.

As well as trading quality used cars, the dealership partnered with MG Motor UK in 2016, which has since become the fastest growing car manufacturer in the UK.

Owned by Shanghai-based company SAIC Motor since 2007, MG Motor has been experiencing a resurgence in popularity, and is now offering a range of British-designed vehicles engineered at its plant in Birmingham.

David Henderson, managing director, said: “We’re overjoyed to be associated with MG Motor as they go from strength to strength. Sales of MG cars have been growing year-on-year, and have doubled in this country over the last 12 months alone. There are now more than 10,000 MG cars sold annually throughout the UK.”

Fred Henderson MG currently stock three MG models: the small but perfectly formed MG3 supermini; compact SUV, the MGZS; and the larger MGGS crossover SUV.

As more and more people are won over by MG’s stylish but affordable range, the dealership looks forward to adding further models later this year, starting with a full electric MGZS in the Autumn, followed by the replacement for the GS – the HS.

David said: “We’re in a very exciting position. MG models are becoming more and more popular with drivers, and it isn’t hard to see why. They’re an emerging manufacturer which is making huge leaps forward in driving technology, and they’re a welcome breath of fresh air to the UK motor market. It’s great to work with a company who really believe in the quality of their product too. In fact, they trust their cars so much, the MG3 and ZS are under warranty for seven years!

“We’ve introduced a lot of people to the MG range over the last few years, and we’ve had a lot of happy, satisfied customers as a result. MG Motor is a relatively new player in the UK car market, but they’re here to stay.”
