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.

Screenshot of the interior of a MG Magnette with a traditional British wooden dashboard, taken from the Classic Car Auctions site.
Original photographer and date unknown.
Note the small clock placed where the windscreen the roof meets.
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 a wider 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).
Private import from Sweden.
This depicted Magnette underwent a total and successful restoration.
Seen at the viewing days of the Palmen Barnfind Collection Auction initiated by Gallery Aaldering, Brummen and provided by Classic Car Auctions, location Dordrecht.

The City of Ottawa was invaded (sort of) this week. Not in a negative way but in a very colourful, exciting way. The North American MGA Club's 39th Annual GT (Get Together) was responsible for well over 125 classic roadsters, adding to the ever growing traffic volumes in Canada's National Capital. However this group of extremely friendly sports car enthusiasts made everyone's day a little more pleasant.
Meet Mike, who along with his wife Sandy owns a beautifully restored 1962 MGA Mk 2. They drove this great looking car from their home in Southgate Kentucky which is approximately 1,200km from Ottawa. However long distances are nothing for this car, Mike and Sandy have travelled all over North America and Canada over the years. Mike has owned the car since the mid 70's and has continued to improve its' condition over that time. Mike is also in the process of restoring a 1958 MG Magnette (ZB Varitone model). The Magnette is a luxury 4 door MG with lots of wood and leather to tempt the senses. The Varitone has a larger back window than the standard Magnette. Mike informs me that when one of these vehicles was ordered new, the factory would send the car out to a local coach builder who would cut the larger opening in the rear and install the larger window. My how things have changed!!
Mike is a superb ambassador for the MG marque and it is obvious he really enjoys owning this classic. He is very knowledgeable and extremely gracious with his time. He wished me well with my project, I really hopes he like his picture.
Thank you Mike, it was pleasure meeting you today, I trust you have a safe journey home to Kentucky.
This is picture #63 of my 100 Strangers Project.

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

This is another from the shoot we just did. It was part of a fashion piece about lace becoming cool again. This one was a funny one to get, I had the girls boyfriend standing next to me (my comrade photographer) He wasn't so sure when he saw this one, but I was... I didn't want to say to her, 'look hot' but basically yeah that was what I needed. Im really enjoying breaking away from my usual street stuff, this really constructive photography is getting me a whole lot better with using photoshop and lighting. Something I definitely needed to do.
This shot has had a load of stuff done to it, smidge of cross processing, tad of photostylizing, some levels edited in viveza, bit of skin softening and model glow added in.

The Varitone version of the 1950's MG Magnette I think is one of the most stylish British saloon cars of that era. Two tone paintwork and the wraparound rear window made a big difference to the standard model of ZA and ZB Monotone models. Only produced from 1956 to 1958.
