Bill and Joy Watson in South Australia have just completed a 3 1/2 year restoration of Y3575, details of the work undertaken and the excellent results can be seen on Ys on Parade. Another car
completed for the Summer Season - we wish them both happY motoring during the summer months. We also welcome Richard Seidemann from Zurich who has recently acquired Y4100, another Y previously unknown to have survived and an original export to Switzerland. One restoration completed and another that will soon commence once Richard has located all the parts. I have to admit that I have not updated the Ys on Parade - Statistics as Paul did not leave me with a copy of the spreadsheet that is
uploaded to the website. There are now 256 YAs on Parade and Switzerland is now ranked seventh in its own right. Webmaster

Another update today for Ys on Parade from Peter Chandler in New Zealand who has sent in a more current photograph of Y1705. Peter said that at present the car is mostly dismantled, but I am sure that we will receive updates of progress in the future. Webmaster
22 November 2011
Peter Chandler has kindly sent a current photograph of Y3570 that has been added to Ys on Parade and an update, following what can only be described as a 'First Class' restoration. Summer is just beginning in New Zealand and we all all wish Peter some happY motoring with his newly completed project. Webmaster

I presume that Paul must be going 'Stir Crazy' with no access to the website or internet on his well deserved holiday (or vacation as he refers to it now) The only news that I have to report in the last few days is the discovery of YT/EXU/2948 in Canada and the confirmation that YT/EXR/4260 is undergoing a full restoration in Australia. Two more YTs that have been added to the list of survivors and
hopefully both will appear on Ys on Parade at a later date Webmaster
15 November 2011
The mid-month Reprinted Article has been added today. It is an early test report on the newly introduced MG Y/T. During the next two weeks David Pelham will be running the show as webmaster as I will be away in the interior of the wilderness of North/South Dakota and will have no internet access. Webmaster

Karl Heinz Borchers has sent in details of the Sommertreff 2012 for the Events page. This is another great international MG Y event that should not be missed! Book early! Webmaster

The 2012 Events page is now available with dates for the International MG Show and Spares Day at Stoneleigh, and the dates for your calendars for the UK MG Car Club Y Type Register Spring and Autumn Runs too. More details will be added to these last two events as they become available but you can already buy advance tickets for the Stoneleigh event through the link provided. We look forward to soon adding other stalwarts to the year such as the Ripon Old Car Show and of course Sommertreff too. Remember, if you are organizing an event for Y Types to let the Webmaster know so it can be added to this page! Webmaster
