1956 MG Magnette ZB - 5 speed gearbox - Now Sold by Robin Lawton Vintage Cars

1956 MG Magnette ZB - 5 speed gearbox
Featuring unitary construction for the first time in an MG saloon, the Magnette was a most handsome motor car, with its Italian inspired styling from the pen of Gerald Palmer.
Powered by a tuned BMC 'B' Series engine developing 60 bhp, the ZA was capable of over 80 mph and allied to brisk acceleration and very good road holding, it was to prove very popular with enthusiastic motorists who required a family car with sporting aspirations.
From late 1956 the ZA evolved into the ZB variant which now featured a more powerful engine, being in the MGA state of tune, developing 68 bhp which gave a noticeable increase in performance with much livelier acceleration and a higher axle ratio which gave a top speed of around 90 mph.
The ZB we offer here was first registered in Bournemouth in December 1956 and retains its original registration number.
The subject of much refurbishment, the MG is in extremely sound order and is finished as original,in Twilight Grey, the interior trim, in light grey leather, remains in extremely good condition. The wheels are shod with Michelin X tyres, giving a very period appearance.
Driving extremely well, this Magnette has the benefit of a five speed gearbox conversion, making for a more relaxed cruising gait. She retains her original engine. The Lucas Trafficators have been fitted with flashing bulbs for increased safety. Included with the documentation is a workshop manual.

Hi have looked at your site. Many beautiful and often rare automobiles. However, this is not the site for me. I'm just an ordinary average man. But I don't see every man cars. Oh there is this Magnette video and a Morris Minor (though 5 years ago). This opinon is not criticism, your video's are beautifully presented. The cars are no less than stunning. Casper Kiwi
