Our second
Reprinted Article for March is the
third of five articles from MG Enthusiast magazine from March 2002 and is
entitled "Building the Y-type". There are some great shots here and if you
enjoy this article you should treat yourself to a copy of 'Enjoying the MG Y
Type' which is
and reviewed in the Book Review, as there are many more detailed shots in it of the entire Y
production line in 1947/48.

Back in
August 2006 we featured a Y from Cuba as
the Picture of the Month. Since then, Gilles Bachand has had a neighbour
of his (who travels regularly on business to Cuba and who has seen the car
frequently) keep a special eye out for the car. However, he has not had
any joy since then, but remains on the trail. What he did bring back from
his last trip was an advertisement from a Cuban
publication dating from 1950!!
