About the MGF Register Holland
The MGF Register Holland is the official register for all MGF and MGTF owners worldwide, established in 1996. It does not matter whether the owner is a member of one of the many MG clubs worldwide or not. MGFs & MGTFs in the Netherlands Between 1996 and 2005 Rover Nederland BV, the Dutch importer for MG and Rover located at Sportlaan 1 in Vianen (Utrecht), imported 1271 MGFs and 628 MGTFs to the Netherlands. Some of them, mostly right-hand-drive cars, went abroad shortly after delivery. The reason for this is that the list prices of cars in the Netherlands are relatively low compared with other European countries, but the taxes imposed on new cars are extremely high. It might save you money to buy a new car in the Netherlands while you are still living in another country, so you can benefit from the lower list price without paying the high Dutch taxes. Over the years dozens of original Dutch cars have been scrapped or rusted away due to the harsh climate in Northern Europe. However, large numbers of MGFs and MGTFs were imported from neighbouring country Germany. 44% (11422 cars) of the total European MGF exports, and 31% (3534 cars) of the MGTF export was shipped from MG Rovers Longbridge car plant to Germany between 1995 and 2005. Currently, there are approximately 1750 MGFs and 900 MGTFs in the Netherlands. Please see the 'register' button for detailed statistics. Our scope & activities The MGF Register Holland primarily records data on Dutch MGFs and MGTFs. These are defined as cars that were originally sold here or imported later. However, to get a complete picture on the numbers of MGs still existing today we will register every MGF and MGTF we come across. Therefore, you’ll also find more than 116500 cars in our database that have no connection to our country. Our register records (production) data on cars, photos & factory pictures of MGFs and MGTFs. Through this website, we hope to share this information with owners and enthusiasts as effectively as possible.
