When the MG Magnette ZA was launched, it followed the somewhat similar Wolseley of a year earlier.

Whilst it differed slightly from the Wolseley in terms of body panels, what was so ironic and that really angered the purists at that time about the specification of the Magnette compared to the Wolseley?

The Wolsesley 4/44 used an MGTF 1250 engine whilst the Magnette was fitted with an Austin B series 1489 engine

Over to David...

Indeed, the new BMC Series came from the Austin side of the newly formed BMC, whilst the 1250cc XPAW was similar to the XPAG as used by the former Nuffield division.

:-? Could this have something to do with Alexandre Dumas and a team of six cylinder MG cars known as ‘The Three Musketeers’?

The cars had Athos, Porthos and Aramis painted on their bonnets. The cars used in the first Musketeer team were three NEs entered in the 1934 TT.

The Man in the Iron Mask was a prisoner held in France from about 1669 until his death in 1703. The possible identity of this man has been the subject of many books. As no one ever saw his face, which was hidden by a mask of black velvet cloth, many 'theories' have been put forward . In one such book, Alexandre Dumas, in his final instalment of his Three Musketeers saga includes the prisoner in an iron mask, who is supposedly Louis XIV's twin brother.

:beer: Thanks MG mad.

During the post war period from 1945 up to the closure of Abingdon in 1980, simply state the total number of vehicles produced there.
