A day late, so please accept my apologies. This month's mid-month
Reprinted Articles update is an extract from
a 3 car comparison on the MG YA from Classic Cars March 1990. In order to
condense the article only the bits concerning the MG YA have been extracted.

Today please welcome Roy Hardwick and YB 1025 to
Ys on Parade.
Alf Luckman has also written to advise of a company that has reproduced a
short run of MG Y front crank handle carriers. Many of you I know are
missing this small and rare item, even I will need one for my newest YT, so I
was very grateful to hear of them. Stocks are limited so hurry. The
vendor writes:
I have arranged for a manufacturing company near my home to laser copy the crank
handle support bracket that bolts inside the front bumper of the MGY. It is an
obsolete part but I now have an exact replica and the company has tooled
up 30 pieces. They will be chromed and available in August at cost price for
only $15 each, direct from Norwebb Pty Ltd. 32
Vernon Avenue, West Heidelberg, Victoria 3081, Australia telephone +61 (0)3 9459

Today please welcome Chris Blood and YB 0838 to
Ys on Parade. Chris has the patience of a
saint, not least evidenced by the work he will have on the car, but because it
took nearly a year to get the car home after he bought it - well done Chris,
it's easier from here! And the good news Chris, yes the engine number
checks out to the Y Ledger list by Neil Cairns as
being the original one - you can actually see on the list when the car was built
too.
Also, please be advised that the rear Jackall hoses are now no longer 'exchange
only' item but are available for out-right purchase.

Now it is the Northern Hemisphere's turn to mourn the passing of Midsummer's day
- but that heralds a new Picture of the Month
for you too. Also the new Reprinted
Article is actually a collage of items on the Y taken from an article on all
MG models featured in Thoroughbred and Classic Cars, January 1981.
