MG Magnette
The MG Magnette was a large family car which was built from 1932 to 1961, spanning 5 generations and sharing a number of features with its Wolseley counterparts. The most iconic of these generations was the Magnette ZA, a model that used a monocoque chassis, a first for MG and had an elegant, luxurious design. It was powered by a four cylinder 1.5- litre engine, that was also new for MG and was derived from their parent company at the time, British Motor Corporation. The ZA was produced from 1954-1956 before being replaced by its successor the Magnette ZB, however in this 2-year production span it sold over 18,000 units.
MG Midget
The MG Midget was a small 2-seater sports car produced from 1961-1979. This name had also been used on previous models, but it was revived for this pint-sized sports car. The size of the Midget was actually very impressive, measuring at just 3.4m long, making it 60cm shorter than the MG3, the smallest car in MG’s current line-up. Throughout it’s lifespan it had a few different engine iterations, from a 0.9 all the way up to a 1.5-litre engine, which made it incredibly enjoyable to drive, especially as it weighed just 735kg.
MG B GT
The MGB GT is a coupe version of another MG roadster, the MGB. This model was designed by iconic design house Pininfarina, and has been noted for being one of the most beautiful designs to date. This design was created to offer the practicality of an estate car, whilst retaining the style and shape of a coupe. The MGB GT was even fitted at one point with a 3.5-litre V8 which was lighter than the 1.8-litre engine fitted on the standard MGB thanks to its aluminium cylinder design, meaning that the MGB GT V8 was capable of 0-60 in just 7.7 seconds!
MG TF
The MG F is without doubt the most iconic MG models of the modern era, with it’s midengined design helping to make it a favourite among fans. Launched in 1995 to compete with the Mazda MX-5, and very quickly became a well loved and popular model and for most of its production run it was the most popular convertible car. The MG TF was available with a number of different engines, including a 1.8-litre engine with a variable valve control mechanism, which helped it to achieve 0-60 in less than 7 seconds. Despite the instability MG experienced in the mid 2000’s the TF remained in production, all the way until 2011.
MG ZR
The MG ZR was a hot hatch that was built between 2001 and 2005. The ZR was MG’s best-selling car in 2003 and throughout its production run, it was very popular among younger customers thanks to its agile driving dynamics. It came with a sport design that was unmistakable from its Rover sibling, the Rover 25, and the choice of colours made it a real head turner. The MG ZR was even available with a number of optional equipment including reversing sensors and Heated Seats!
