*NOW* you are asking for it, Ben. ;>
It was indeed a sports saloon. I have an original brochure here
and the front page reads:
MG Magnette - One and a half litre 4 door sports sedan.
The inside reads in big print (capitals mean different colour)
- Sports car PERFORMANCE
- Family car COMFORT
- Small car ECONOMY
...whether or not it meets today's standards of a sporting
anything, that's what it was marketed to be at the time. Think
of what most BMW sedans are today, designed to have sporty
performance and stylish looks but still be functional.
