The MG Car Club has acquired a 1/4 scale model of the Magnette with ZB modifications, almost certainly made by the factory as a styling prototype before production. This came up in an auction recently and fortunately was spotted in time to arrange a bid - more details and photos here

Mike Willan is restoring a Magnette with original Manumatic transmission. He's still got a lot to do, but there's some details and photos of progress so far, which will be updated as Mike's project continues

Also a message from Mark Bacchus - UK Magnette owners may be concerned about the destruction of classic cars recently that have been traded in for new cars through manufacturer scrappage schemes. Please sign the petition on the Government website to prevent vehicles classed as Historic by DVLA from being scrapped in this way.

Lastly, the events page has been updated with information about Magnettes & Steam, which will be at the Cholsey and Wallingford railway on 31st March

Seasons Greetings to all our readers. As 2018 is nearly here, make sure you've got the dates for next year's Magnette Register events on your calendar. The list isn't complete at present, so keep checking for updates 

There's a new article on the magazine reprints page, although actually from 1998. It was spotted by Ian Sykes in his archive, and interestingly features Colin Goldsworthy, but with a different Magnette from the one that he currently owns.

There was also a nice article from The Motor dated 21st October 1953, which was as you know, the time the MAGNETTE was shown to the public at the Earls Court Show, in my mailbox sent in from Paul Barrow. Many thanks! Read here...
