The Magnette ZA was the first &quot;modern&quot; MG sports sedan, and was powered by the soon-to-be-ubiquitous BMC B-series engine. Most notably, this ZA was the first MG to use&nbsp;unit-body construction, as opposed to the traditional body-on-frame construction. It was succeeded by the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mg/magnette/zb/">Magnette ZB</a> variant in 1956.&nbsp;

MG Magnette ZB

The Magnette ZB improved upon the prior <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mg/magnette/za/">ZA</a> with additional power (64hp) via larger dual SU carburetors and higher compression. Interestingly, a small number of ZB-generation Magnettes were offered with a semi-automatic transmission. A popular option is the Varitone, with an enlarged rear window and two-tone paint. It was succeeded by the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/mg/magnette/mkiii/">Magnette MkIII</a>.&nbsp;

MG Magnette MkIII

The Mk.3 MG Magnette was a radical departure for the Magnette line, as the model was designed by Farina (of Pininfarina fame) much like many other badge-engineered models throughout the BMC lineup. Of course, the MG was the most sporting version, with a dual-carbureted version of the 1489cc B-Series four cylinder engine.

MG Magnette MkIV

The Mk.4 MG Magnette was visually very similar to the predecessor Mk.3, save the lowering of the tailfins that had sprouted alongside most every sedan of the time. The wheelbase was lengthened, the track was widened, and anti-roll bars were fitted to both the front and rear suspension to improve handling. Most notably, a larger B-series engine was installed to give additional power.
