Today we have an
new picture on Interesting Ys, a rally going Y
(believed YB but we don't know anything much about this car other than it
also took part in the Peking Paris Rally too). Perhaps, if you know
more, you can contact the webmaster and share your knowledge with us.
Alternatively, if you know the owner, encourage them to Register it and put it
on Ys on Parade. It would be fascinating to find out more about it!
Richard Prior has also filed another episode of his fantastic
Antipodean Adventure from 2003.
Congratulations also to the winners from last month's UK
Spring Run - NTG Cup YT and Mike Silk (for YAs and YTs), Bill Atkinson Cup (YBs)
Keith Herkes, and the Piston Gone Trophy Cliff Shuker YB.

This month's
Reprinted Article is from the Australian
Motor Manual from June 1949, and a second from the Autocar 1951. In a
slightly different format to normal (for the Australian Motor Manual) we have
scanned the pages from the magazine into a PDF file as there is an excellent
shot of the MG Y being lowered into position on the BMC stand.
Additionally there is a short paragraph announcing the new YT and a useful page
on Lucas FT lamps. The Autocar article is a newly rediscovered road test.

Another sad piece
of news - you may recall last year we had two Pictures of the Month (February
and May 2003) featuring the escapades of Lola Grounds, kindly sent in by her son
Robert. Lola too passed away in April 2004, aged 87. A redoubtable
lady who will be missed by her family, to whom we send our condolences too.
On a happier note, we have two fantastic new pictures in
Artists Impressions, having been alerted to them by
Willem van der Veer.

John Edwards |
It is with great sadness that we have to announce the
sudden death of our Register Secretary John
Edwards.
Although John had become an M.G. man late in life, he developed a real
enthusiasm for Ys when he purchased his first car a few years ago.
We only knew John for a relatively short time but grew to respect and
appreciate his hard work on behalf of the Register. He always showed great
enthusiasm, a conscientious approach and a willingness to participate fully
in our activities.
His committee friends will greatly miss John’s quiet approach and wry sense
of humour. His initial shyness masked a warmth and friendliness, which
became progressively more evident as we grew to know him.
We wish to take this opportunity to extend our sympathy to John’s wife Janet
and his family. He was a good friend, loving husband, proud father and
grandfather |
Also, please welcome Johnny Thorsen from Sweden with
Y 4640 to Ys on Parade.
This is our first Y from Sweden too!

The
Northern Hemisphere season is now well under way and last month we had a
fabulous (if damp) UK Spring Run. If you went on the run, why not write a
report and send in some pictures? I was very fortunate in being able to
get back to the UK for the event, and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our day -
only the onset of jet lag caused us to cut for home early. It was an
excellent opportunity to say a final "farewell" to many Y owners in the UK.
I was also very flattered to be awarded a cap donated by Alf Luckman from
Australia to be given to the farthest travelled. It will be worn with
pride this weekend as I attend MGs on the Pier at Port Angeles in search of more
Ys.
As an opener this month I am pleased to welcome Scott Barrow
who is now the owner of the brace of Ys formerly belonging to Paul Gaynor -
Y 2677 and Y 5174.
