MG Magnette
What is your favourite car of all time?
Launched in 1953 the M.G. Magnette was the first MG saloon to be built following the formation of the British Motor Corporation. Sharing body pressings with the Wolseley 4/44, it was powered by a new 1,489cc. BMC engine, which untuned produced approximately 60bhp and gave the car a top speed of 80mph. The Magnette saloon showed its paces in international rallying and production-car racing and within two years of the launch MG were building six ZA saloons to every one TF two-seater. The ZB appeared in 1956 and with an increased output of 68bhp, 90mph (145km/h) was achievable with 0-60mph (0-96km/h) taking 18.5 seconds. 12,754 ZAs and 23,846 ZBs were built before being dropped in favour of the Cowley built Farina-designed Magnette Mk3.
