Description
Superb ZB in lovely original condition; had been in long-term storage
before comprehensive recommissioning; driven to the sale; a
delight
First registered in June 1957, this lovely ZB Magnette is
only for sale due to an unexpected loss of storage space.
The
vendor acquired it through Bill Postins - Classic and Prestige Cars
and it has performed beautifully and was driven to us some 30
miles.
As you can see from the photos, it is in lovely unmolested
condition, having spent over 20 years tucked away in storage. A previous owner
removed the engine to free the clutch, taking the opportunity to install new
core plugs, a new ring gear, new dizzy with electronic ignition and new leads
etc, hoses, a spin on oil filter conversion and a rebuild of the
carburettors.
A stainless exhaust was fitted, mated to a reconditioned
manifold and a comprehensive brake and suspension overhaul including shocks and
new tyres were fitted.
We understand that it had a respray in the 1970s,
which has lasted well and looks beautifully mellowed, alongside the lovely
leather upholstery.
It's most recent MOT expired in 2022 showing no
advisories and the only comment made by the vendor is that the speedometer
doesn't work, a job which he has never got round to sorting. The bodywork is in
very good order with excellent door fits.
Probably the nicest Magnette we
have offered, it comes with a handbook, copy workshop manual and Autobooks
manual and is on offer at a most attractive estimate - get
bidding....
