Happy New Year and we hope that it is a bountYful one for you. We are certainly off to a great start here with lots of new items
for you. In case you had not realised it, the MG Y Type
celebrates it's 65th birthday this year! So, in honour of this we have
redesigned the home navigation button! This will stay throughout the year.
The Picture of the Month comes from Jean Lau in Hong Kong, China from the Annual MG Show, 22 February 2009.
Belated congratulations to her for winning a trophy on her first showing!
The Reprinted Article this month is from the Autocar, April 1953 and is a road test on the MG YB.
Today, also please welcome the first
Ys on Parade of 2012, Gary Rayner with
Y 3269 from Tasmania.
Jerry Birkbeck has also updated
his picture to
Ys on Parade too. Two new
Reprinted Advertisements have been added.
The MG Car Club of Canberra have also alerted us to the fact that following the
success of MG TYme in 2010, they are running a similar event in 2012. Details will be posted as they become available, but for now a flyer can
be downloaded from the Events page.
Finally, three reprinted old Lucas technical pamphlets have been added to the
Technical Data Page too.
