Y 5492 has changed owners and is now back in The Netherlands having passed from father to son. It is always heartening to see the Y infection passing through the generations and not loosing any of its appeal! Well done Rob and Andrew and we wish Andrew much enjoYment from the car. Webmaster

Karl Heinz Boerchers has sent in a report on Sommertreff 2009.
This has been added to the Events page and can also be downloaded here. Peter Arnell, also had a surprise at Silverstone last weekend. David Pelham explains: In March 2009, Peter Arnell passed on the role of Chairmanship of the MG Car Club Y Type Register to Peter Vielvoye, after eleven years of dedicated service. Peter has been an excellent ambassador, both for the Y Register and the MG Car Club. Peter and Suzie's Sun Bronze YB is in regular attendance at MG events and probably 'clocks up' more miles than most other Y Types.
It was decided by the Committee to recognise Peter's contribution by presenting him with a Jacket (suitable for both Y & Triple M events — Peter also has a N Type) embroidered with a Y Type, the MG Car Club Logo and the words Chairman 1998 — 2009. David Pelham made a short speech on behalf of the Register thanking Peter for his contribution. This was followed by Bill Wallis, the President of the MG Car Club, who presented the Jacket to Peter and also thanked him for his hard work on behalf of the club. Peter thanked all the committee for their work and support during his chairmanship and wished the Register success going forward. Note: Under normal circumstances of a maximum term of five years office holding, this record eleven year stretch is likely not to be surpassed in the short term ... but we shall have to wait and see! The mid-month Reprinted Article has also been added and is from Australia's Sports and Classic Cars magazine and it titled Y-Front the prim and proper MG. Enjoy! Webmaster
