The Classic car of the year was voted last weekend at the NEC classic car show. You know that Grant Howlett made it into to top five amoung 20 other classiccs and was invited to present his car at the show. The Magnette was the runner up, the first place went to the E-type Jaguar, which was well deserved, it was a superb car with a great owner. (Well, this could be said for the magnette as well!). So a BIG Congratulation Grant from the Magnette world! You did a superb job and good publicity for the Magnette. Here are some shots:

We start the update with a new picture of the month.
Then we have our 770th Magnette on the gallery: It's # 31027 , a CKD (completely knocked down) car assembled in South Africa. It now belongs to Aroon Sukhnandan. The car has also been added to the CKD-report.

Loz Scott (well known to regular readers) made a nice 86 page book called " Delving into the MG ZA/ZB Magnette". As he said it was by necessity printed in limited numbers; to-date sales have been to individuals and MG club libraries Nationally. IE Club Libraries: Melbourne, Sydney, Geelong and Perth.
'Delving into the MG ZA/ZB Magnette' was put together because of my anxiety that some important documentation, history, reference material and techniques may be lost if not preserved in an old fashion hard copy. The book draws noticeably on material sourced from original documentation while four personal accounts of Magnette restorations add to the reality of being involved.
My feeling is this 86 page book, nicely, compliments existing documents and sits happily in its own niche.
There are still some copies available for purchase; by:

Peter Tothill, BMC test and development engineer
Magnette enthusiasts will be sad to know that Peter Tothill passed away on 1 January 2013. Those who attended the Register’s GP100 event in 2011 were privileged to hear him 
speak entertainingly about his involvement with Gerald Palmer and BMC development, and we had hoped to have him as a guest at the Magnette 60th celebrations this year.
Peter joined the Experimental Department at Cowley in November 1950 as a technician, working on prototype and pre-production models of the Wolseley 4/44, Riley Pathfinder, MG Magnette ZA and Wolseley 6/90. He was therefore closely involved with Palmer’s designs as they were prepared for production. Cars were exhaustively tested for performance, economy, structure, suspension and damping, noise, vibration, cooling and braking. Much of this testing was done on public roads, where the infamous axle-tramp problem was discovered (leading to deletion of the rear radius arm), but visits were also made to the MIRA track and to Chalgrove aerodrome. Speaking at GP100 Peter recalled how the Magnette was able to survive a gruelling 1000-mile test on the MIRA Pavé surface, unlike most car designs of that time.
Peter moved to the Cowley factory in 1955, where his various roles included design of the Mini production line and assembling the very first production car in 1959. He also worked on the BMC 1100, and finally left Cowley in 1982 to open a motor supplies shop in Abingdon. He retired from this in 2001 but continued his strong links with MG and motorsport - he attended several Register events with his ZB Varitone, was restoring a ZA with Derrington head, and had been Chairman and President of the Oxford Motor Club.

I've added 30(!) Magnettes to the gallery. Yes you have read right - thirty. And I need your help. These cars are all not identified by their chassis numbers. In some cases I even don't know the country they are driving or rusting. Have a lok at the gallery and choos the categorie "unidntified cars" to see them all. By the way: we have the first Uruguay Magnette amoung them...
Enjoy! More in this categorie to come during the next days,...

I'm still uploading and editing the old stuff from the former website, which you only recognize once you can't find an article you're looking for. Beside some articles of owners, which can be found in the galley, I reloaded the Official Colour Scheme to the History menu. This article includes some Akzo Nobel colour codes. Not sure if these are still helping.
