The MG Y-Type is an automobile produced by MG in England from 1947 to 1953. It was offered in four-door saloon and limited production open four-seat tourer versions. When production ceased, 8,336 "Y" Types had been produced, 6,131 of which were "YA" saloons, 904 were "YT" Tourers and 1,301 were "YB" saloons.

The Y Type was the third MG saloon car of a series ready for the market just before WW2 started. The first was the huge MG SA saloon based on the Wolseley 18/80; the second was the middle model VA based on the Wolseley 12/14; the third was the small YA based on the Morris/Wolseley 8/4 with then engine of the 10/4.

The Register’s principal aims are: To promote and encourage the ownership, use, restoration and enjoyment of the MG YA, YB, YT, specials and coach-built models; to develop and maintain an up-to-date register and photographic record of cars, whether running, in restoration or consigned to the graveyard; to provide an information service to ...

It is an overhead-valve (OHV) unit of 1250cc giving out 46 brake-horse-power on the ‘Y’, and 54bhp on the ‘T’ series. The easiest way to tell a YA from a YB is to look at the rear wings. The YA has bigger wheels, so the wing is shallower.

The only four manufacturers that I know of are DG, RAE, MG Car Club Y Type Register, and the most recent by Lansdowne.

Only 6,131 YAs like this one were built, compact four doors with the engineering of the firm’s sports cars including the peppy XPAG 1,250cc 46bhp engine. Today only a handful remain on UK roads. That makes this lovely 1950 survivor rare.

The Y (its first series was retrospectively called the YA) used the MG XPAG engine, independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. A total of 6158 YAs were built, 1301 YBs (from 1951) and 877 YT four-seater convertibles. The MG Car Club Y Register believes more than 1000 of all types remain.
