A Classic 4-Door MG Restomod - MG Magnette | E2E E21

The MG Magnette epitomizes the elegance and sophistication of British engineering during the golden age of motoring. Renowned for the distinctive two-tone paintwork found in the ZB Varitone model and refined styling, the Magnette ZB Varitone offers a glimpse into the luxury and innovation of the late 1950s. But its underwhelming performance justified some performance upgrades when Alex found it at an online auction, with the famous historian Page Smith as its previous owner! So how will this distinguished restomod saloon stand up to both the modern and classic cars in the Haugland Collection? Join Alex and Amy Haugland as they explore the timeless appeal and detailed craftsmanship of their MG Magnette, from a detailed showcase in the studio to the wintery roads of Oregon. Watch as they delve into the car's rich chicken-filled history, examine its unique quirks, and take it out for a drive. Tune into this week’s episode of Everyday to Exotic to discover why the 1958 MG Magnette ZB Varitone is more than just a car—it’s a piece of automotive heritage.
