A reminder to those who might have missed it at the end of June, the MG Car Club Y Type Register have produced a limited edition of 60th Anniversary Mugs which are now available from the Regalia Page and can be ordered using the current Sales sheet (A4 format or letter format).  These are a limited edition and I am informed there are less than 60 left!  Order now to avoid disappointment!

The Picture of the Month this month comes from Peter Vielvoye in the Cotswolds UK.

The Reprinted Article for this month comes from the Autocar of June 1950 and covers a beautiful scenic drive in the North of the UK - seeds for ideas for future Northern weekends in the UK creating a re-run?

Finally, please welcome Michael Buckley with Y 7141 to Ys on Parade.  Michael's car make yet another pairing with Y 7142 of Henry and Marlies Hebels!
