1958 MG Magnette ZB
Current owner for over 20
years; Hi-Gear 5 speed gearbox; lots to like about this nice
looking Magnette
Dating from October
1958, this MG Magnette comes to us in updated ZB form, which saw more power
extracted from the 1.5-litre B-series engine, up 4bhp from it's ZA
predecessor to 64bhp. Acceleration improved, with 60mph taking just
18.5 seconds thanks to larger 38mm bore carbs, a higher compression ratio
and modifications to the manifold.
Power
was sent to the rear wheels via four-speed manual transmission, however this
car sports a Hi-Gear five speed box.
This example had a colour
change from grey to the Varitone look in attactive red and cream in 1998. The
interior is mostly original although the carpets have been
replaced.
It looks very smart with ripple-free sides and good
door fit. The engine bay is also tidy and it has been in regular recent use. On
offer at a most attractive guide price, these Magnettes make very practical
classics, with lots of tuning options, although go well enough in standard
form.
