Somewhat belated, but
the mid-month Reprinted Article has been
released! From the MG Magazine of Spring (I believe) 1989, it is an
excellent four page article entitled "Comfort fast: M.G.'s Post War Sports
Sedan".

The eagle eyes of
Karel Vermeer spotted an MG YT on a post card From Ireland.
This has been added to the Collectibles

which has been added to the Hints and Tips page.
Visitors new and old are reminded
that a technical Q & A Advice service is provided by
David Pelham and Neil Cairns
to assist with technical problems.

The Technical Centre
menu has been augmented, again! This time we are pleased to include an
entirely new concept - Technical Videos. US owners will be very familiar
with the famous John Twist and University Motors Limited. John has done a
number of MG related short technical videos that have been posted on YouTube,
and although none of his videos are specifically on MG Ys there are several that
are on T Types and even some of those on the MGB have technical relevance and
can easily be cross applied to the MG Y as so much of the mechanicals were
carried over from the brilliantly technically advanced Y pioneered engineering.
A quick link is provided here, but the permanent
link can be found by hovering over the Technical Centre button on the far left
menu and selecting Technical Videos from the list.

Andrew Coulson has sent in a report from the Ripon Old Car Show. A link for this is on the
Events page, but it can also be accessed
here.
The
Reprinted Article continues the run of articles from the US Publication 'MG Magazine', but now jumps forward to the Fall of 1988
. It is a short data summary on the MG YT.
The
Picture of the Month this month comes from Nico Dressen of the Netherlands. Thank you Nico, and when the painting is done, please send us a photograph for the
Artist's Impressions page too!
