Tony Slattery has provided the final official drawings for the RIGHT HAND FRONT floor board for a RIGHT HAND DRIVE Y, YT and YB to the FLOOR BOARD page. Other drawings will follow for the other floor boards. This is a not inconsiderable undertaking and Tony will be (and already has been) hard at work to make this happen. Thank you Tony!

Back in 2011, the late David Pelham was persuing a line of enquiry on MG Y/Ts fitted with a dashboard layout similar to that of an MG TD. At that time, we had only one picture, from one car and a good storyline. Since that time, another car has surfaced (Y/T 2820) and the fabled story has been rekindled! See the article in Interesting Ys.
