That's a solid front bar, too. No distortion from the impact. Good Russian steel, ay.

The MkIII Farina Magnette followed on from the nice little MG ZB, and was introduced in November 1958. Abingdon had to cease making saloon cars as it now also produced the Austin-Healey sports cars, and space in the plant was at a premium. Many bought the new MG from Cowley in Oxford, a poor replacement for the taut ZA/B. The BMC Austin Design Office (ADO) had produced the Magnette MkIII utilizing the ZB’s engine, gearbox, and rear axle (same as the MGA, in fact!), but had incorporated the Austin A55 saloon car floorpan, and a re-skin of its upper body in Pininfarina style. Overall the MkIII was a corporate car, designed by a committee, with bits fitted they thought an MG should have. The MkIII was produced in the U.K. along with four sister cars, all using the same body: an Austin A55 MkII, a Morris Oxford Series 5, a Wolseley 15/60, and, a very similar car to the Magnette indeed, the Riley 4/68. The Riley and the MG used the twin-carb version of the BMC B series engine, with 1498cc developing 68 bhp. The other three models were single carb cooking versions, putting out 50 bhp!

Because of the car’s interior room and huge boot, it sold very well as a Morris, Austin, or Wolseley. The Riley did reasonably well, but the MG version was shunned Today the MG Farina Magnette is a rare car. Only 70 MkIIIs and 178 MkIVs are on the British DMV records. The modifications carried out in 1961 were far too late for the Farina Magnette, and even though the car handled belter and was faster than the MkIII, a bad name sticks. The fact that many parts from it can be used on the ZA/ZB and MGAs has not helped the survival rate, and corrosion on the English winter salted roads, in addition to demolition stock car racing, has seriously reduced surviving numbers. Unlike other MG cars, they hold little cash value
