Regarding the Z Magnette:

I don't know why the MG community discounts these cars, is it because they
haven't driven one?  Is it because it doesn't have a convertible top, if so
why isn't the MGPB saloon discounted?  Jeez, they look like a Jag, have the
classic MG grill, and drive like an MG, why the scorn?

No scorn from this corner.  I love the things.  What a beautifully finished
little "sports sedan".  Great car to drive when there must be more than one
additional passenger.' Tried, in vain, to talk my Dad into buying a new one
back in the fifties.  Last year I looked at two in Roanoke - the guy wanted
$1500 for the pair and me thinks they were too rusty for anything but
parts.  ' Didn't want to insult him with my offer of about $500.

I've heard somebody makes body panels but haven't been able to locate any.
I would be interested in this one but for the distance from Virginia to
Oregon and my finances are stretched pretty far already.

' Wonder how many of these ever came to our shores.  How many are left?
