[Zmagnette] Peer Pressure + spring fever = Trouble

Wed Apr 16 09:50:43 MDT 2014

As a counter to that note...I found that they had 2 NOS brake master cylinders for Magnettes and bought them both for about $125. They still had the cosmoline on and were in part of the old original box with the butcher paper wrapper. I sold one to a needy person years ago and saved the other as my spare, ready to go MC. Yes they were the correct ones and were as listed for the Magnettes, and priced according to what the had been when new. So you never know!!!

I too would advise extreme caution when dealing with KIP Motor Co.  I bought a headliner from them for my MG 1100 and before I bought it the guaranteed it was OEM correct.  I extensively questioned them about it and they said absolutely that this was the real deal.  It was nothing like when it showed up so I called them back and queried it.  They said What did I expect for a car from 1960 and refused a refund of goods never mind shipping out or return shipping.  Wouldn’t buy from them again if they were the last people on the planet Rodger.  They lie.

Thanks for the KIP info.  The interior was redone on 2001, it is very nice except for a couple of things; like a small headliner tear. It hasn't been driven much since then, and will need some TLC at least.

I did buy the car off Ebay. The owner is clearing out a 2 acre lot he sold to the city. He had some other American cars that looked pretty nice. Rodger

Despite some people’s less than happy experience with them. I would recommend KIP Motors for some info and small parts for the Humber. He drives a Big Humber shooting brake design (station wagon) as his daily round town car, and has a few smalls for the mechanicals parts.

Hey Gene, 

Wouldn't that look cool in one of our garages parked next to a Magnette.  Here it is:

Well now we'll see how cool it looks, she arrived on a truck yesterday.  Now I need to find a Super Snipe information source, workshop manual, etc.  Any ideas and referrals are welcome.  I can't even find the VIN plate on this thing.  Rodger
