We have also changed the method of payment for items from the YZ Publications. You can now pay direct with PayPal (either via an already established PayPal account or just use your credit card through a PayPal account) for items purchased from YZ Publications. The old method has been discontinued.

Some of you have also been asking how you can help contribute to the work of the International MG Y Type Register too. We have set up a new page for this where you can either donate, email a friend with details of the site and recommend it to them, or, if you have website, add the International MG Y Type Register to your pages.

We are pleased to announce that we have moved the On Line Database search to a new server located at https://database.mgytypes.org. This is a Secure Server and offers yet one more layer of protection against any potential data hacking. For this our ever grateful thanks are extended to Steve James, the son of John James of our sister site ttypes.org and TTT2 . Steve also looks after our very own comprehensive eBay Search Tool which has received a great overhaul in recent months too to provide almost all MG Y items on eBay Australia, eBay UK and eBay USA. Please enjoy making free use of both of these great tools.
