My dad had a British racing green MG Magnette. Twin SU carburetors. Leather seats, main beam switch on the floor, huge boot, and quality chrome. I loved that car.

My dad owned one for several years in the late 1960's, blue and cream in colour. We took those sorts of interiors for granted at the time, but they look great to me now in comparison to modern aesthetics. The most memorable thing about the car was the amount of time my dad spent replacing the rusted panels with fibreglass. It seemed to be a never ending problem.

BHP: The Riley Farinas were badged 4/68 and later 4/72, being number of cylinders and bhp. As both Rileys and Magnettes had twin carbs, their outbuts should have been the same.

The first car I bought after turning 16 was a 1959 MG Magnette Mark III. Such a joy to see that there are still a few left in the world (even if it was a Mark IV). Beautiful cars John!

Like their big farina counterparts... mg magnettes in both pre farina and farina saw service in the police force during the 1960s. Jersey, Oxford City, Wiltshire, to name a few. Very nice examples exhibited here.

When I used to see these cars as a child, I could see that they were like other Farinas but wearing a different face. I didn't think that they were particularly impressive at the time, just a car middle age men seemed to like. Now that I'm a middle aged man, I want one.
