I asked the question of the dealer (Richmond, Southampton) and, after some checking, they confirmed the roof can carry a load of up to 75kg. MG do not have a carrier system, at least yet, but it is possible that someone makes a generic roof bar system that would fit, a bit like some older Fords where the feet rested on the roof and flat brackets 'hook' onto the door frames. I've seen a few on t'interweb which MAY suit. I cannot check without a car to play with.
I have a vested interest as I wish to carry a kayak. I have ordered an MG4 this week and I'm taking a chance that this can be resolved before, or very shortly after, I take delivery. It will be possible to use one of those inflatable roof rack thingummies, but I've never actually used one and don't know if they would be stable/secure enough, I'm thinking not just of weight but the aerodynamics of a boat.
If anyone else has anything useful to add, or advice, I'd be grateful.
