For some unknown reason looks like Hardings are not a franchised mg dealer anymore? they dont seem to be advertising mg in there adverts.....

The local dealer appointed is Graham Walker, Bumpers Lane,Chester. I spoke to one of the salesmen today, they have an open weekend this Sat 20th and Sun 21st when they will be launching the LE 500. They seem very enthusiastic about new TF and have already sold 3 of their allocation. Apparently they still have 4 available.

looks like they have lost the franchise because they were appointed as mg dealers early in the year! not that it bothers me as i dont own a mg anymore

Visited Graham Walker in Chester today to view the new TF, very positive attitude in the showroom and they seem genuinely interested in the MG brand (well they would if they hope to sell some!). new car looks good, not sure if I like the low profile tyres, the wheel arches look very empty. The glass rear screen is a great improvement (having split mine last winter) the seating position seems higher, maybe it's the new leather seats but my head was touching the roof with the hardtop fitted. I look forward to trying out the ride in a test drive next week.
Graham Walker are X part suppliers and have equipment and trained mechanics to service all Fs and TFs. Salesman I spoke to is an MG enthusiast having owned a number of Midgets and BGTs.

I was serprized to see hardings as an MG dealership, it looked a right ramshackled place when I went to look at them and only had limited space, no room for a workshop and has always been that way ( I use to drive passed it all the time for 10-15 yrs)

from a conversation I had, they were never that committed to the brand or the dealership
