Ian's 1957 MG Magnette ZB Varitone
This car was purchased in 1980. I restored it over several years including
a bare metal re-spray. In 2000 the 1489cc engine was replaced with a 1798cc
5 bearing engine giving noticeable performance benefits.
The car has been used on two club holidays to France and to holidays
to South Wales and in 1995 the car was exhibited at the London Classic
Car Show at Alexandra Palace.
These cars boast an all leather interior with polished wood fascia and
door capings. They were noted in the 1950's for their high standard of
road holding and as the fastest British 1½ litre 4-door saloon.
