Description
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine starts after a short while — since the car has been stationary for some time, it takes a moment for the fuel to reach the carburetors. The choke, of course, needs to be used correctly. The gearbox works well with a nice, precise gear feel, though the positions are close together and the car prefers that a new driver learns them carefully. The engine basically shares its design with both the MGA and the later MGB models, though in the latter it came in a larger 1.8-liter version.
-
Interior condition
Nice and fresh leather interior with neat carpets and an original Webasto sunroof in good working condition. The wood trim looks good, especially considering its age. For many enthusiasts, an older Becker Monza is an especially attractive radio — here present, though its functionality is unknown.
-
Exterior condition
Older restoration and repaint in the original color from the late 1980s, which has held up reasonably well, though in a few places — mainly around the C-pillars — some cracking in the underlying work can be seen. Equipped with bolt-on wire wheels and older Firestone tires with good tread. One wheel bolt is missing on the right rear wheel. Four original steel wheels with old cross-ply tires are included, though without hubcaps.
-
General condition
Charming family MG with a sporty touch, in solid, user-friendly, and pleasant condition. Easy to care for, maintain, and enjoy for a new owner.

Facts about the model
The Magnette ZA was introduced in the autumn of 1953. Early examples had a simple metal dashboard painted to look like wood. In the autumn of 1954, an updated dashboard with real wood veneer was introduced — only then could it truly be called a “dashboard.” A total of 18,076 ZA units were produced.
In October 1956, the Magnette ZB was launched, featuring a more powerful engine thanks to larger carburetors and a higher compression ratio. Externally, it gained new chrome trim, and the luxury Varitone model was introduced with two-tone paint and a larger rear window. A total of 18,524 ZB units were built.
