This is the website of the Magnette Register, part of the MG Car Club. Registers were originally established simply to maintain a record of the known cars produced for each model of MG since Cecil Kimber started the company in 1924. They now do much more to help preserve the cars and their history, and organise events for owners. You'll find a lot of information here, whether you just want to know more about the Magnette or are maintaining or restoring one

Dietrich Krahn has provided an interesting copy of the first Magnette review to appear in a German magazine, from Kraft-hand 1953. Also worth mentioning is that Dietrich's ZA was selected for the 'Best in Show' lineup at this year's Goodwood Revival, which is a considerable achievement (even though it didn't win in the end), given the many other rare and exotic cars on display Also, new in tech-tips, Graham Austin provides some cautionary advice about front brake pipes |
