Description
For Sale: 1958 MG Magnette ZB
Reluctantly selling our family-owned 1958 MG Magnette ZB. This car has been in our family since the 1980s and has always been looked after and restored with care and respect. Mechanically solid and runs beautifully — it starts, drives, and stops exactly as it should.
The car is in good overall condition and presents very well for its age. It’s clean, complete, and honest. Paintwork is tidy, chrome is bright, and the interior retains much of its original charm.
Key details:
First registered 1958 (suffix reg likely from a later re-registration)
Fully restored 5 years ago
Starts on the button and drives reliably
Garaged when not in use
Unfortunately, the original service history has been lost over time, but the car speaks for itself — it’s clearly been well maintained. Selling only because I can't commit the time this car deserves.
This is a great opportunity to own a piece of British motoring history that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately. This isn’t just another classic — it’s a car with soul and a story. Inherited from my grandfather, who owned it since the 1980s, this Magnette was fully restored in his final years as a labour of love. He poured care and pride into bringing it back to life, and it shows in how beautifully it runs and presents.
It’s the kind of car that gets nods and conversations wherever it goes — full of charm, character, and British motoring history. Whether you’re looking for a weekend cruiser, a show piece, or simply something with heritage and heart, this car ticks the boxes.
I’m only selling because I can’t give it the time it deserves, but I want it to go to someone who will keep that legacy alive.
