A while back it was
suggested that we should have some polls on the website, so ever wanting to
oblige, here is your first one!
Barbara Goodyear has updated the photo of YT 2583,
and added an all important piece of information to her entry on

A message from Jerry
Birkbeck for those of you thinking about joining the UK Spring Run this year is
"25 rooms have now been booked at Stratton House Hotel so there are now only 14
left. Interested parties should contact the Hotel as soon as they can - or
they miss out" ... so do not delay, unless you want to sleep in the hay!
The
Torque Settings document in the
Technical Centre has also been updated for a table of
generic torque settings provided by Tony Slattery in response to a recent
request for help by Gilles Bachand on the Bulletin Board. We hope this
will be of help in the future too.
John Ellis has sent
in a copy of a print of an MG Y out for a Sunday drive for our
Artist's Impressions page.
The print has also featured on a run of greetings cards that you may be
fortunate enough to get hold of from time to time too.
For the mid-month
Reprinted Article we travel back in time
again for the first of two articles from Light Car Magazine, June 1947!

More exciting news
from 'down under' in that boot hinges that have been unavailable at a reasonable
price for some time, are now available from Vintage Reproductions of Australia -
check out
http://www.vintageandclassicreproductions.com/morris_garage.shtml. At
$280.00AU for a pair this represents a very fair price even if you add shipping!
Vintage Reproductions have been added to the Links page. Thank you Terry Ciantar for this tip!

Ignominious footage
of a Y being loaded onto a flatbed for hauling away to scrap has been added to
the "Y"s on Film page. Sadly this was shot a
couple of years ago (2005) so although we have been in touch with the cameraman,
we are unable to ascertain what chassis number it was. This film was
spotted on the YouTube website by Willem Van Der Veer. Are there any other
clips of Ys out there on the internet? If you come across them, let us
know.
