Today, please welcome Judith Edwards, daughter of the former Secretary to the MG Car Club Y Type Register John Edwards to Ys on Parade as the new owner of Y 5650. David Mullen has also advised of two new websites with MG Y Type content - Old Classic Car and Prewarcar.com ... but we will not hold a slip of time against them since the latter site has two great photos of a Y too (check out the hyperlinks on the page). These have both been added to the Links page too. For USA and Canadian Y Type owners, details are also available for the MG 2011 All Registers Meeting in Reno, NV and registration is now open. A strong contingent of Y Types in attendance would ensure that we get our own class ... rather than being classed as "Variants" so register early at the Official site. Let us have a really strong showing! If any owners are interested Passport Transportation can ship your car to and from the show saving you the drive - contact the Webmaster for more details about this service as I used them in 2010.
