[Zmagnette] [Thelist] 1959 MG Magnette Grille Magnette Grill | eBay

[charles durning]

FWIW I plan on taking the remains of my ZBV to the crusher this weekend.
There hasn't been any interest in a week so it looks like it's played out.
I'm keeping the windshield.  The back glass is still there though I doubt
any glass will survive transport via common carrier.  All of the trim is
gone.  Vince in OZ said I should save the sheet metal around the back
glass.  I'll cut it out if someone wants it.  I don't intend on storing
that piece.  I do have a grille with dings and 2 straight bumpers that
would rechrome nicely.  I also still have some inside and outside door
handles. The outside handles have some rust pits.  Haven't cleaned up the
inside handles to see the condition.
