We have
added cable supplier Speedograph Richfield to our list of Suppliers on the
Links page. Speedograph Richfield can supply all
the cables you need for an MG Y, whether YA, YT, or YB, at much more
competitive prices as they are manufacturers, not distributors!

Please be advised there is a seller on eBay selling
reprinted MG Y workshop manuals for £28.75 a piece plus shipping. These are very poor reprinted copies and are totally non-text searchable and are overpriced.

It is with
great sadness that we report the passing of Skip Kelsey yesterday morning
(Pacific Time). Skip, besides owning a YA, also ran
Shadetree Motors (MG
Service and Moss distributor) and was well known throughout the US and possibly
the world for a very thorough knowledge of MGs. Our deepest sympathies to
Skip's family and colleagues.

Ted Gardner
has sent in a report along with some
photographs from last month's Spring Run. Photographs were also provided
by Andrew Adamson, Richard Knight and Keith Herkes. Thanks guys, and thank
you Jerry for organising a brilliant day out. For those who went on the
run, there is a thread on the Bulletin Board you may like to record your
appreciation to Jerry on. As Ted says, watch out for next year - the 60th
anniversary of the Birth of the Y - the Register are planning a great weekend so
look to the website for more details as they emerge: we really want to hit the
50 Ys on the run ... if not 60. Just looking at Ys on Parade it is indeed
very doable - so get ready, you have been warned.

In April we
were able to add Y 1373 to
Ys on Parade.
Y
1373 is a Special Bodied Y sold as a chassis only to the Swiss firm of
Beutler Coachbuilders. It is now in the ownership of Armin Kuriger.
Armin very kindly promised to supply us with additional photographs which he has
now done. These have been added to the page in
Interesting Ys for his car.

Having begun April
with the words "Who knows
what else April will bring?" what a surprise - a Beutler bodied MG YA,
Y 1373 on Ys on Parade.
We hope to get some more photographs of this amazing new find from Armin and bring
them to you soon. Meanwhile, people have been busy flicking through
archives and David Mullen found an interesting note in John Lawson's 'The
Classic Y' together with a photograph: so Armin, we have begun a page for you in
Interesting Ys and look forward to the
additional photographs. Armin meanwhile has also been busy and sent us two
photographs of the three Ramseier Ys so we have also set up a page in
Interesting Ys for them. Jack Murray then
found an additional photograph of these cars in 'The Classic Y' too.
The
Reprinted Article for the start of May is
from MG Enthusiast, December 1993, called 'Life begins at 40 for Y Types' as
David Pelham reports on the Y Type Tour of the Dales.
