MG MG Y Type - Found 2 more YB's

This weekend I attended the Newby Hall concourse in North Yorkshire. I am pleased to say there were 2 YB's on show which are not on the database. I managed to speak to one owner who agreed to let me pass on his details. He had a very nice Red over silver 1953 YB chassis number 1277 registration no YMG 186 originally from university motors. The car had been off the road since the early 70's and he carried out a full restoration, to a very nice standard I might add, over a number of years.

Unfortunately I never got to meet the second car owner but his YB had a registration number YMG 195 so it appears to be very close to YMG 186 chassis number. I will attach photos and keep my eyes open at further shows. Just for info I won second in my class (MG group) with my TD out of 116 cars so it was a good day.

Kind regards Chris Pick

Hi Chris

YB 1277 - YMG 186 was on the database so do not know why you couldnt see it, however we did not have a photo. Thank you for that.

YMG 195 according to the DVLA was first registered on 8 June 1953. Buildwise it could be anywhere between YB 1100 and YB 1300 but who knows, one day we will locate it for sure!

MAny thanks for posting the photos though - Newby Hall is a great MG meeting place.

Paul,

Where do I find the database? I have only looked on YBs on parade and 1277 is not on it.

On the home page, if you look at the center of the page at the bottom under the visitor hit counter you will see Database.

Scroll down a touch and you can access on line to 3,132 cars! You can either enter the chassis number or the licence plate (current licence plates only) if we know it.
