Description

Very rare Y Tourer, the only post war 4 seater open top MG. Believed to be less that 200 on the road worldwide of the 877 produced, mostly exported. Much loved family car owned since 1995 bought while living in Australia. Shipped back with us in 1997. Meticulously maintained since then by MG experts, Lackford Motor Engineering, with full history. Full engine rebuild/ unleaded conversion and overhaul in 2012 at cost of over £11k. In excellent mechanical condition and also presents very well overall, with some imperfections in the patina of the enamel paint. With independent front suspension, rack & pinion steering, and synchromesh on 2nd to 4th gears, it is a lovely car to drive. With XPAG engine and sharing most mechanicals with the more ubiquitous TC/ TD models, spares are easily available. Used regularly with lap belts front and back, with harness attachments for the rear seats. Children now grown up and my wife and I have recently bought a classic 2 seater sports car hence reason for sale.
