This 1958 MG ZB Magnette is one of approximately 1,500 exported to America. Since ZB Magnettes were more or less designed for the British “home market,” they are rather rare today in the U.S. Jeff Powell, North American Z Magnette Group, estimates there are probably no more than 175 survivors in the U.S., with about half of that number which “run and drive” This is one of them.  It has an MGA replacement engine equipped with a single Weber down-draught carb. Much engine work was done two years ago, which makes it a great daily driver. With its classic looks—the British automotive press of the late 1950s dubbed it “...the baby Bentley”—it draws a crowd wherever it’s parked. Not ready for Pebble Beach, but an honest reliable example of the marque.  <terryt@callon.com>
