This is the website of the Magnette Register, part of the MG Car Club. Registers were originally established simply to maintain a record of the known cars produced for each model of MG since Cecil Kimber started the company in 1924. They now do much more to help preserve the cars and their history, and organise events for owners. You'll find a lot of information here, whether you just want to know more about the Magnette or are maintaining or restoring one
