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....
