Nanjing Automobile Corporation UK has appointed its first dealers to handle sales of its reborn MGF roadster model.

Merritts in Aylesbury and Amersham and Luffields in Loughborough are the first two dealers announced. However, a spokesperson from NAC UK said it would reveal 11 more appointments soon.

Stephen Cox, NAC UK sales/franchise manager, said last month the company was looking to sign 10 dealers all at once ‘otherwise it looks inequitable’.

The new announcement strays from the plan slightly, but this is only due to the remaining dealers waiting on their letters of intent.

Cox had previously planned to appoint the first five dealers by the end of May. NAC is planning on holding a signing ceremony for the dealers as this is traditional in China.
