For Z Magnette body panels, you might try:
John & Lou Shorten
Lenwade Specialists
44 The Street
Lenwade, Norwich
Norfolk, NR9 5SD
UK
Phone: (0163) 872436
They have the tooling to make up all manner of Z Magnette body panels and I
understand they make them to order. There are numerous connections to be
made here through the Z & Farina Magnette Register of the MGCC. There is
also a place called "The Sportscar Factory" in Hallville ONT that
fabricates panels.

I have ordered some YT panels from NTG, and compared to the cost of the
panels, I thought that, while the shipping was expensive, it wasn't
prohibitive. My total order was about £450 and air freight was about £115.
Having said that, I question the similarity between the panels NTG sent me
and the originals they are intended to replace. The jury is still out -
come fitting time, they may work out fine. At best, however, they don't
extend far enough to replace all that needs replacing. So I may be taking
some of my own advice - calling on the guys in Hallville. Or maybe I'm
going to have to learn some fabrication myself. (' Still seeking advice,
BTW.)
