Condition
8
The vehicle is described as superbly original throughout, retaining character and charm. The odometer reading is unwarranted but potentially genuine given the condition. Recent work includes servicing the fuel pump, draining and replenishing the fuel tank, and the clutch and brakes are reported to be operating correctly. The car starts, runs, and drives well, and is described as turn-key ready. While not perfect, it exhibits minimal cosmetic imperfections and requires no significant reconditioning.

Description
1950 MG YA SALOON Registration number: UMG 142Chassis number: Y4530Engine number: XPAG/SC/14355Exterior: Black
Interior: Green, piped in red An increasingly appreciated example of MG’s distinctive post-war saloons, this 1950 MG YA is finished in elegant black with a contrasting green interior piped in red. Combining traditional British styling with the engineering pedigree for which MG became renowned, the YA is admired for its upright proportions, sweeping front wings and distinctive radiator grille, earning it the affectionate description of a ‘miniature Bentley’. Introduced in 1947, the MG YA marked an important chapter in the marque’s history, combining sporting engineering with the practicality of a four-door saloon.
Power is provided by MG’s 1,250cc XPAG four-cylinder overhead-valve petrol engine, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Independent front suspension, hydraulic drum brakes and traditional interior appointments further distinguish this appealing period motor car....
