Beautiful Woman in an MG Tries to Escape Police

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

They still make MG's?
They make cars in China that have MG badges, they bear little resemblance to the classic British motors.
Along russian boulevard not far from rattana if i recall is an MG garage, and it actually says morris garages on the sign as well.

At least it is a step up from calling it a Austin Garage.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

they have the old style, new styles, 4wd styles and just started producing a pickup

Harley definitely junk. Ford a little better. Dont know about the others you mentioned, but when he mentioned the classic British motors I'm thinking of a lot of the junk produced in 1980s. To be fair many of those cars were victims of industrial sabatage done by discontented factory workers.

You pass a Morris Garages showroom on the way to the airport and every time I see it I always wonder why they use the full name and not the more notable acronym, MG. seems JB has provided the explanation lol.

Merlin are a great company.

All the others had their heyday, and that ended 50 or 60 years ago for Norton, BSA and Jaguar. Rolls royce was fucked all through the 90's too and only recovered when BMW took command. Jaguar haven't been good in my lifetime and they won't recover from being Pajetted by Tata Corp.

The fact that there was anything that survived the years of BL is the biggest mystery.
And why the Chinese thought it had brand value is another mystery.
