Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

I've posted about my dad's Sunbeam Talbot 90, but nothing about my own car just yet.

It's a 1954 MG Magnette ZA which I picked up last year. It's used as a regular runabout for myself and my family and can best be classed as a 'Condition 2' car.



That said, it runs extremely well, and far better than most other 50s cars I've had the pleasure to drive over the years.



The car is currently in the paintshop getting a new coat of British Racing Green and is due out any day now.

Next stop interior, followed by chromework. It's going to be a busy winter!

I really like the ZAs - I've heard of a one owner car up for grabs but it needs a huge amount of tlc sadly, tinworm etc usual suspects..

I too have a soft spot for the Z Magnettes, a ZA was my first car and my brother had a ZB varitone. I went on to have 3 MGAs so I became a bit of an expert in maintaining B-Series MGs
