Further Info:
A notably tidy example of an enduringly popular British classic, `OSU 337' is believed to have been the subject of a thorough restoration in the late 1980s. Though not of concours standard, the Maroon paintwork has stood the test of time very well and the MG was apparently involved in numerous shows by its last owner, who retained the Magnette for no less than 15 years. The matching Maroon interior has recently been treated to new front seat coverings and carpets, and the vendor informs us that the car `behaves impeccably on the road' and possesses `a particularly sweet engine and gearbox'. Reviving a name from the company's past, MG introduced the Magnette ZA at the London Motor Show of 1954. Though somewhat Italianate in style, the car was in fact penned by Englishman Gerald Palmer, who had previously made his name with the characterful Jowett Javelin. Power came from the then new 1.5-litre BMC B-Series engine.
