We have had a great interaction with a blogger called Steve McKelvie and he has a very informative site. He has several listings on his blog for MG Y Types (use his search tool and type in MG Y) too now! Please visit and enjoy.

The Reprinted Article has been released for mid November. This one comes from " The Autocar" magazine, 26 July 1957 and is a Used Car Guide written by Stuart Bladon.

Please accept my apologies for being late with the update this month - I did think about it at the end of October ... and then completely forgot to do anything! The International MG Y Type Register though has not been entirely sleeping on the job though and we are currently working with a new owner and a newly rediscovered car that could again be a "game changer" in terms of significant MG Y Type history! More later when this has all been properly researched and verified.

The picture of the month comes from Charles "Floyd" Inman, USA.

The Reprinted Article comes from The Motor magazine, 14 September 1951.
