MAGNIFICENT MAGNETTE

After First Seeing Use in the 1930’s the Magnette Name was Reintroduced by MG in 1953, with the Magnette ZA. Designed by Gerald Palmer, of Both MG Y-Type and Jowett Javelin Fame, the New Magnette was a Departure from the Y-Type’s Pre-War, Running Board Styling, In Keeping with the Shift from MG TF to MG A that Would Take Place In 1955.

Featuring the Then-New 1489cc BMC B-Series Engine with Twin 1 ½” SU Carbs, the ZB Magnette was Rated at 64bhp, and was Driven Through a 4 Speed Manual, Floor Change Gearbox with Synchromesh on the Top Three Gears. The Magnette’s Sister Car, the Wolseley 4/44 Shared much of the MG’s Design, but was Powered By a Detuned 1250cc XPAG Engine from the Y-Type, Producing Just 46bhp.

Complementing the Classic and Original Birch Grey is the Port Wine Trimwork, Grey Carpets and the Iconic, British Luxury Sedan Features, a Timber Dash & Door Cappings, and the Bakelite Rimmed Banjo Steering Wheel.
