Engaging post-war sporting MG saloon
- Subject of previous comprehensive restoration

The MG Magnette ZA occupies an important place in the history of MG, representing the marque's move into the sporting executive-car market during the early post-war period.

Introduced in 1953, the Magnette combined traditional MG sporting character with considerably greater refinement and practicality than the company's two-seat sports cars.

Based upon the advanced BMC platform shared with the Wolseley 4/44 and subsequently the Magnette ZB, the ZA was distinguished by its elegant Farina-influenced styling, well-appointed interior and spirited performance.

At its heart was BMC's 1,489cc four-cylinder B-Series engine, while the Magnette's sporting credentials were enhanced by its four-speed gearbox and engaging road manners.

The model proved particularly successful with enthusiasts seeking a car capable of combining everyday usability with the character and individuality expected of an MG.
