The MG Magnette is an automobile that was produced by MG between 1953 and 1968. The Magnette was manufactured in two build series, the ZA and ZB of 1953 through to 1958 and the Mark III and Mark IV of 1959 through to 1968, both using a modified Wolseley body and an Austin engine.
The Mark III was updated in 1961 as the Mark IV. A larger 1. 6 L (1622 cc) B-Series engine, with capacity increased by increasing the bore to 76. 2 mm, was fitted, and the car had a longer wheelbase and wider track. To improve handling anti-roll bars were fitted front and rear. From the outside, the Mark IV was almost identical to the Mark III, apart from the remodelled and slightly less sharply pointed tailfins, a modification shared with its Riley sibling.
The model continued to be listed through till May 1968 when the manufacturers announced that production had ceased.
Craner classics offer this 1965 mk 4 Magnette finished in two tone blue paintwork and black interior.
The car is the rare automatic model fitted with the Borg Warner gearbox which was available as an extra back in the day.
The two tone blue paintwork really does set the car off and its complemented by the black seats and two tone blue door cards and pale blue carpet. It has also been fitted with a metal external sun visor to help reduce sunshine glare.
The car is supplied with photographic evidence of its restoration along with the original buff log book and sales/ information leaflets.
The original front seats are included in the sale.
We have been informed that this is one of only seven left on British roads today.
