I didn't know this car, but it looks like a pretty generic design from the early 60s...just take a model with a similar style and transform it... there are dozens of models that can be used, both for the car in the first photo and the second, and there is software for that too.
The Mark III looks a bit like a Pug 404, and the ZB like a jag with a Silver Shadow fenders and quarter painel and an american business coupe rear end. Lol

You are right Cristiano,
Between the Magnette and the Peugeot 404 they are very similar, the design of both was made by Pininfarina, there is a 3D model that can be used, which is from a SIAM Di Tella (or Riley 4, it is the same car), here is the Link

Modifications would have to be made to the Di Tella to make it the same as the Magnette but it would not be very difficult, or take my P404 and modify it

From the factory they have the BMC B series 1500. Same as in the Morris Major, Austin Lancer and Wolseley 1500 etc.
I've fitted the 5 bearing 1800 MGB motor in mine.
