Willem van der Veer
sent me a new link to a page (which has been added to the Links page and the
Interesting Ys page)
featuring a picture of the Zagato bodied MG Y Type - sadly the site does not
have any other information on the car. This prompted me to write to Zagato
to see if they can give us any more information on the special bodied car they
did. Let's hope they get in touch.
