Please welcome Tetsuya Aichi and Y 6554 to
Ys on Parade: Y 6554
is the 350th car on the website, representing 4.19% of all Ys made!
Following up on the recent thread on the Bulletin Board which appears to have
generated a fair amount of interest in the period straps used in connection with
the loops fitted to the boot of the MG Y Type, Terry O'Brien has sent in some
pictures of his which seem to accord with the consensus of descriptions
submitted. These can be viewed by clicking on the link in the left column
to this page, or here

Y 6756 has a new owner - please welcome our
youngest Y owner (unless you know differently of course) Lahiru Gamage, aged
14 - very discerning tastes!! The car was previously incorrectly shown
as being his fathers - apologies for the mistake. Lahiru also recently
allowed his car to be used for a wedding car and has sent in a superbly handsome
picture of the decorated car for Ys at Weddings.
