1966 Mg Magnette Mkiv 1662 Twin Su’s

For classic car enthusiasts seeking a rare gem, the 1966 MG Magnette MKIV is a compelling choice. This vintage vehicle, with its 1662 Twin SU carburetors, is not just a piece of automotive history but a useable classic in good order. The car has been lovingly maintained, as evidenced by its previous owner who acquired it in 1991 and proudly displayed it at several shows.

In 2017, this MG Magnette underwent a significant transformation with a complete respray and the installation of a reconditioned engine, ensuring it runs smoothly and reliably. More recently, in November 2023, the current owner recommissioned the car, investing in a new braking system and master cylinders. The front seats have been professionally recovered, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics, at a cost of £875.

While the car is very useable and much admired, it does have a few quirks typical of vintage vehicles. The roof lining will need replacement, and there are some noisy kingpins, though they do not compromise safety. These minor issues are easily overshadowed by the car's charm and rarity.

The MG Magnette MKIV is a rare find in today's market, making it a prized possession for collectors. With an estimated mileage that reflects its careful use over the decades, it is offered at £3300, with sensible offers considered. This is an opportunity to own a piece of motoring history that is not only a joy to drive but also a conversation starter wherever it goes.

Prospective buyers are encouraged to view the photographs and consider this elegant classic, which promises to be a delightful addition to any collection.
