Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. Robert Johnson was the original, though the concept didn't really exist then. My local one is Peter Ham of Badfinger, mainly famous for 'Without You', sung by everybody else, mainly Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey.

Terrible shame another great name in car manufacturing is closing down their operations in the UK and moving to the US.
MG China owned now producing excellent hybrids in Chy Na. Dyson has gone to Singapore. I know it's a vacuum but has two little wheels

Lotus plans to close UK plant in Norfolk and shift production to US | Autocar https://share.google/pPgllRg5s1hACLD73

The reality is BL/AR/RG has already Squandered the MG brand building shitboxes, when they weren't on strike, long before SAIC came along.

Whatever you, or I, think of MG and what it had become, buying the rights to the name, has served SAIC well.

Building better quality cars than MG have produced in at least 50 years
