Manufacturer Part Number: 76MGZ002
The model represents the British Railways Late Crest period.
The ZB version of the MG Magnette replaced the MGZA and was launched in 1956. It offered a higher power output and featured bodywork changes, notably a wider rear windscreen with a wrap‑around curved edge. Production lasted for only two years; towards the end a two‑tone variant became available, with the bonnet and roof lid painted in a lighter colour than the darker lower half of the body.
