Acquired recently on
generous terms from a club member , car is complete but requires a complete
restoration, although corrosion is in check and these repairs are reasonably
straightforward. Purchased by the previous owner six years previously with
engine BP15GA5875. Now very faded Maroon, traces of the original gloss black
may be evident around the ventilator box. Inner wing bears a P&R Williams,
Sydney & Newcastle lubrication plate. Body stamp may be a typographical @
says: BMGA 4931. Has a full wooden dash rather than the expected tin-top.

David Graham from Quebec, Canada sent
us a picture of his early ZA, first registered March 1955:"The ZA was purchased in Plymouth, Devon. In April 1981 it was shipped from Liverpool to Montreal, Canada. The car was driven to Halifax, Nova Scotia on the East coast and then in the fall of 1981 towed to Victoria, British Columbia, on the West coast of Canada. In 1984 I rebuilt the engine, fixed a few (maybe quite a few) other small problems and then drove across Canada, first to Kingston, Ontario and then on to Montreal. The ZA has lived in Montreal since 1986. |

 This wonderful left
hand drive ZA Magnette was produced in 1955 and originally sold to North
America. Since 1999, she was completely restored by Peter Herbst of Cologne,
Germany, in a four years period. The grey leather interior matches to the
dark blue outside colour in harmony. This beauty is quick and comfortable. I
aquired her in February 2008 and our first journey was to the Magnette
Meeting in Kassel. I will keep her forever. Wolf Juchem, Germany. |

Car was purchased
from Des Newham of Sydney Australia in May 2004. The car seems to be
original. I am unsure of the original date of registration, but the rego
label on the car shows that it was last registered in September 1979 and has
been garaged since September 1980, when that registration expired. The car
is in beautiful condition for its age and the only work needed is new rubber
seals all round the body, refurbishment of the woodwork and new electrical
wiring to replace the existing old and frayed wires. Finally, I have
realised a childhood dream of owning an MG! Fred and Jan Schaap |

Please Note: The car is fitted with a 2 L Mitsubishi motor (Sirius motor as fitted to Cordia, Starion) This is coupled to a 5 speed box.I know this is sacrilege to MG fans but it was a very successful conversion making it a great car to drive.

After
owning a 1969 MGB for ten years, it was time for a change. I purchased the
1955 MGZA from P. Ramsden (Perth WA) on 29/3/06.After having it transporting
it back to Bendigo,it was of to the workshop, replacing the brake hoses and
a few other worn pins and bushes etc and fitting a reconditioned tailshaft
and yokes, the car is now ready to be a daily driver. Being fitted with the
MGA engine and Diff it cruises nicely down the road at 110Kph (70mph). The
car has been re-named "Lizzie" by my wife in honour of my late sister who was born in the same year. Both my wife and I have been members of MGCC's in Sydney and Brisbane and will be joining the Victorian MGCC and look forward to many years of touring and meeting others with like intrests in MG's. |

I just bought it from the second owner, where it was sitting in a southern
California driveway for the last 18 years. No rust, and with a virtually perfect
body. The soft parts are completely shot, but the original engine turns (it was supposedly parked for
overheating). 99% complete. It is my intention to restore it to completely original, as this was the same
year and type that my wife learned to drive as a teenager in the '60's. I do need a few parts and
conversation with other ZA-ZB friends... leedavisone@comcast.net. Lee Davis, Albuquerque, New Mexico |

I bought it from Mr
Baker and it was in a very sorry state. The rust was very advanced in all
doors and mudguards, the paint work was very poor with surface rust coming
through as little volcanoes, however I like to restore basket cases due to
the low purchase cost and the fact that I carry out all metal restoration
and paint work, the only work I contract out is the upholstery. Being
retired I was able to complete the restoration in 18 months and the result
is that it was judged the best restoration for 2009 by the Morris Register
of South Australia. So what does this mean? Another ZA is back on the road in original condition with an owner that will maintain it over the next x years. Ron Lomax, Australia |

On aauction at brightwells: This particular car has had only two owners from new and has been in the current ownership since 1978. These upgrades include the fitment of a more powerful ZB engine; front disc brakes; Spax shock absorbers; halogen headlamps; indicators rather than trafficators; generator to alternator conversion and the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust. It has also been fitted with a sophisticated Tracker anti-theft system with a lifetime subscription. So if it ever does get stolen, the police will always be able to find it via the magic of satellite tracking technology – whatever would Palmer have made of that! |

I finally have my car back on the road again. A few minor tidy up jobs remain but all in all the car is performing well after being off the road for 25 years. I intend putting a 3.9:1 diff in it to improve cruise performance and maybe down the road a pair of 1.5 inch carbs and an extractor exhaust. I cannot make too many changes as I have registered the car as Historic for the Sydney MG Car Club.

My car was build in 1956 (first registered 30-6-1956), went to the US and came to The Netherlands in
1999 I believe. I bought the car in 2000 from an MG specialist in Friesland.
The car has been resprayed in the US and got another reconditioned engine this year.
I still have the original engine and I think this one will come back in the car
sometime in the future. Hans Lubberding |

In the early 1970's
this Magnette belonged to Bart Spoelstra, who was the owner of the MG
Workshop in The Hague The picture was taken in 1974 during a
meeting of the Dutch MG-clubs at the Zandvoort Circuit. The Dutch registrar
Henk Kroese confirmed that the car is still running after a complete
restoration in 1995. It's creme over light green
The car was assembled in Durban/South Africa (which might explain the sun
visor!) and imported to the Netherlands in 1971 and later converted to LHD. It
is said to be a '55 ZB what must be a mistake as ZB's were introduced as late
as autumn 1956. |

It has done a genuine 27k miles from
new. It was owned by a lady in Dorset most of its life and then went to
Reading - that chap used it in Holland for a while before returning home -
he sold it to his neighbour who in 1988 fitted 2 new floors and had the
car resprayed/new brakes etc - his wife drove the car a few times and
decided she didnt like it as the heater was not good enough ! So it was
put in their garage and left there until my fiancee (Sara) bought the car
for me. I have fallen in love with them both ! Gobby, Cornwall, UK |

This maroon ZA
Magnette was built in 1955. She was imported to Germany in the late 80's.
Now she is properly registered as a historical Car. She is quite original
and drives well. Some time ago, a new beige leather interior was fitted. I
like to sell her as I own ZA 6538 also. Wolf Juchem, Germany. |

The
car is a New Zealand-new model, first registered here in December 1957. It
has spent all its life around Christchurch, Timaru and Dunedin in the South
Island, but I have just driven it to my home in Auckland, a distance of
nearly 700 miles covered in two days with no problems. The car is currently
fitted with a 1622cc engine and flashing indicators, but otherwise seems
fairly original and unmolested. I'll try to keep it that way.The picture was
taken on the shores of Lake Taupo, in the central North Island of New
Zealand, en route from Christchurch to Auckland. Colin Heald |
