"A beautiful car with potential, a project that is largely untouched and appears to be complete."

Description

Magnette was BMC's first car with a unitary body and one of the most elegant vehicles from this conglomerate in the 1950s. The ZB model received a slight increase in power compared to the earlier ZA model, achieved through higher compression and larger carburetors. This car underwent inspection for the last time in 1972 but has since remained in the registry. It has been in the family since 1976.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    A project that is largely untouched and appears to be complete.

  • Interior condition

    The seats have weathered well, with no significant damage to the upholstery and door panels. There is a damage on the headliner, but there are no signs of major moisture damage. It has been stored in a dry and dark environment for several years.

  • Exterior condition

    The most visible rust is located in the rear fender. The floor area seems to have held up relatively well, with a few rust holes in the trunk and along the lower edge of the doors. It has not been possible to inspect the right side of the car.

  • General condition

    After over 50 years of dormancy, it must be said that it has been well preserved. On the plus side, the availability of parts for these cars is still good.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
