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 available from our Regalia Sales 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!!
