Ah, Kenny, you forgot my Apple Green '56 ZB:
Of the 2, the Mk MkIII Farina Magnette is probably the one that there are the fewest left....however, IMHO, if you're gonna get one, go for the Varitone, a '57 - to me its the most desirable & seems to be the hardest one to find!

If you include the pre war Magnettes, they would have to be considered the rarest.

Farina was the designer of that particular body style. In order to distinguish them from their predecessors, they are referred to as "Farinas".
These cars were produced at the height of BMC's badge-engineering phase, and so the same body style was used for the Morris Oxford, Austin Cambridge, and the Riley and Wolseley varients, in addition to the MG.
Good cars, with an enthusiastic following in the UK....

Farina is huge - there's 2 feet of empty space between the grille & radiator - & the trunk is large enough to curl up & take a nap! Don't even get me going on the room in the back seat...hehehehe
