The MG Magnette is a car 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.
MG Cars had previously used the Magnette name on their K-type and N-type models of the 1930s.
The ZA Magnette was launched at the 1953 British Motor Show, designed under BMC by Gerald Palmer It was the first appearance of the new four cylinder 1,489 cc (90.9 cu in) B-Series I4 engine with a pair of 1+1⁄4 in (32 mm)-bore twin-choke SU carburettors, delivering 60 bhp driving the rear wheels through BMC's new four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios.
The updated ZB Magnette replaced the ZA on 12 October 1956, and unveiled at the 1956 British Motor Show in Earls Court. Power was increased to 64 hp (48 kW) fitting 1+1⁄2 in (38 mm)-bore carburettors, increasing the compression ratio from 7.5 to 8.3, and modifying the manifold, increasing top speed to 86mphThe similar Wolseley 15/50 now shared the ZB's B-Series engine. Cars continued with the four speed transmission as standard, but there was now an optional semi-automatic, marketed as Manumatic, which was chosen for 496, 1957 Magnettes
A Varitone model featured larger rear window and optional two tone paintwork, using a standard Pressed Steel body shell, the rear window opening enlarged in the Morris Motors body shop, Cowley, before painting

Launched at the 1953 Earls Court, Motor Show, it was the first monocoque to bear the MG name, designed by Gerald Palmer who had made his name with the Jowett Javelin. Powered by a BMC B series engine with twin 1.25 inch SU carburettors and a four speed manual gearbox with syncromesh on the top three ratios.
Similar to the Wolseley 4/44 that had debuted a year earlier with a 1250cc MG TF engine, though the MG has lower suspension and shares only the front doors, boot lid and roof panel with its Wolseley cousin.
The ZB arrived in 1956 with improved interior and trim replacing the very similar ZB. Power was increased to 64bhp with larger 1.5 inch twin SU carburettors, an increased compression ratio, increased axle ratio and a modified exhaust manifold.
The Varitone models have a wraparound rear windows as well as two tone paint

This version of the Magnette was built by MG from 1956 until 1958. This is a Varitone model with two tone paintwork and a larger rear window.
Apart from a quick repositioning of the lens cap... this was a lucky grab-shot! A burst of sunshine penetrated a chink in the curtains... illuminating my old Pentax 35mm film camera.
From the Pentax Forums -
Manufactured from 1975 to 1977. The Pentax KX was one of the three original K-mount cameras introduced by Pentax as a replacement for the Spotmatic family of screw mount cameras.
The KX model was one step up from the KM with a more sensitive light meter, a wider ISO range, and mirror lock-up. It had a match-needle exposure readout so that the shutter speed set was indicated in the viewfinder. The aperture set on the lens was visible in the viewfinder through a small window.
The KX is the only Pentax where the wind lever must be pulled slightly out for the meter to work. This makes the camera unsuitable for left-eyed users. Fortunately Pentax didn't repeat this poor design on their later cameras.

Similar styling to its BMC family sibling the Wolseley 4/44. Launched at the 1953 London Motor Show, the Magnette was designed by Gerald Palmer with Italian inspired styling. Power came from the then new four cylinder 1.5 L (1489 cc) B-Series I4 engine with twin 1¼ inch SU carburettors delivering 60 bhp, driving the rear wheels through a four speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. Independant front suspension using coil springs and a live axle, with half elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Rack and pinion steering and Lockheed hydraulic brakes.
The Magnette ZA was replaced by the Magnette ZB later in the 1956 model year the cars were almost identical with the later having a more powerful 64bhp engine by virtue of 1.5 inch carburettor, increased compression ratio and a modified manifold. The chrome strip that wraps around the front of the front wheelarch on the ZA is a straight spear on the ZB. The ZB range also included the Varitone with larger rear window and optional two tone paintwork

I had to put a little bit of work into this one. I used a flash but it was still far too dark. So I changed the color profile, adjusted the levels, exposure, and gradient map layers in PS.
For a final touch, I used Nik Software's Color Efex Pro - Pro Contrast / Photo Stylizer (Varitone 1) filters which gave some contrast depth and bluish-silvery tone to the image.

The Magnette ZB replaced the ZA which was launched at the October 1953 London Motor Show. The ZA was the first monocoque MG car. It was designed by Gerald Palmer (1911-1999), who also created the 1947 Jowett Javelin.
The MG Magnette had a 1952 Wolseley 4/44 body, an Austin 1500 BMC engine and a MG grille. Excellent badge engineering so to say...
The Magnette ZB shared the car body with the ZA, but it got an enlarged rear window and a stronger engine.
The Magnette had leather seats and a wooden dashboard panel. Two tone paintwork was an option for the ZB (specified as Varitone).
