It's difficult to define what a proper car from a particular manufacturer is. In the past the engine and running gear could be made by one and the bodywork and trim by another and companies have always been absorbed or sold by others.
PS. Your Sprite was made in the MG factory in Abingdon.
I enjoyed it more than the first time around because although I couldn't remember what happened I knew Bad Wolf meant something so I spotted it early on.
It's the rear collision warning (page 270 owner's manual). If a car approaches too quickly from behind it flashes the indicators to warn the following driver you have stopped or are moving slowly. Unfortunately it can also be triggered by traffic in adjoining lanes.
It's normal to control the reversing speed with the brakes in an automatic including EVs. The brake squealing is caused by a bit of rust buildup on the discs.
Once a week on a quiet road brake sharply two or three times or push the brake pedal with your left foot while keeping the accelerator...
I had a similar experience of the parts being authorised 2 hours after I emailed MG customer service in the UK accusing them of micro-managing the dealer.
I recharge mine when it gets down to 100 miles of range left which will cover any "emergency" that might crop up. If I need to travel further than that spending 20 minutes at the local fast charger won't make any difference to the emergency.
Also check what the dealer's service plan includes. Mine includes either a courtesy car or they will fetch and return it as well as free puncture repairs.
