Many will know Frank Keane has a personal interest in classic cars, and has some of the finest cars in Ireland in his personal collection. The Frank Keane Motor Group has been in motor distribution for over fifty years, and have expertise and experience in successfully building brands.
The MG (Morris Garages) range has changed a lot since its inception in 1924, and is today Chinese-owned and will enter the market with a range of electric and plug-in hybrid cars, starting with the MG ZS EV compact SUV. This models features five-star Euro NCAP safety, high levels of technology and a seven-year warranty, from a starting price of €28,995. This will be available from November, and will be followed by models such as the MG5 EV Sportwagon and MG HS plug-in hybrid midsize SUV, both of which will be on sale here in the coming months.
