Description
First registered in November 1952, this MG One and a Quarter litre YB Small Saloon is being offered from a deceased family estate and little is known about the car or its history.
Owned since 1965, it is believed to have last run in the early 1970s.
Updated from the MG YA, 1,301 MG YBs were produced between 1952 and 1953, and post-war, they were considered a lively and stylish alternative to the offerings from Austin and Ford.
Patently this car is in need of some restoration, however, as the 'Y' Type shares many mechanical underpinnings with the ubiquitous MG TD and TF and the XPAG engine is common to several 50's MGs, there are a number of specialists who could help with sourcing parts.
The car is supplied with its original registration book.
With only 1,300 built initially, there can't be many left, and it would seem a shame to lose another one.
