1955 MG ZA Magnette Saloon

The MG was introduced in 1923, a sporting division of Morris Motors. The first of the MG Magnette Saloons, the ZA was built from 1953-56. The new lowered body and chassis were similar to its sister car, the Wolseley 4-44, the front doors, boot lid and roof panels were shared. The engine and front suspension on the MG was from Austin and the steering was from Morris, it featured leather seats and polished wood door cappings.

The update model, the 1956-58 ZB got more power from bigger carbys and the chrome trim on the side just straight, not dropping down to the front bumper as on the ZA.

The ZB Varitone model featured a larger rear window and optional two tone paintwork

Engine; 60hp 1489cc 4 cyl (64hp ZB)
