1949 MG YT Four Seat Tourer
Rare Post-War MG Tourer | Over £30, 000 Invested | MOT Until March 2027
The MG YT is one of the rarest post-war MG production models and offers something quite different from the more familiar T-Series sports cars. Combining open touring motoring with genuine four-seat practicality, it remains one of the most usable and enjoyable MGs of its era.
Only 877 examples were produced between 1948 and 1950, with many exported when new. Consequently, relatively few right-hand drive examples remain in the UK today.
Affectionately known as “Limoncello”, this particular YT was first registered in July 1949 and benefits from a substantial history file together with a major restoration undertaken during the late 1990s.
More recently, in excess of £30, 000 has been invested in the car, creating a notably well-sorted and highly usable example.
Work has included:
• Engine rebore and recondition
• Conversion for unleaded fuel use
• New brake drums
• New rear springs
• New clutch
• New voltage regulator and dynamo
• Re-cored radiator
• Stainless-steel exhaust system
• New fuel tank, pump and carburettors
• Electronic ignition
• Spin-on oil filter conversion
• Full respray
• Refreshed upholstery
• New carpets
• Selective rechroming
The car is supplied with a very good hood, side screens and a new tonneau cover and has been carefully maintained and stored in a heated, dehumidified environment.
The Y Series holds an important place in MG history, being the first production MG to feature independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. The YT Tourer also benefited from the more sporting MG TC engine specification, giving noticeably improved performance over the saloon model and making it a capable and enjoyable touring car.
Presented today as a smart, well-maintained and extensively improved example, “Limoncello” is ready to be enjoyed immediately by its next custodian.
The car also benefits from an MOT certificate valid until 22 March 2027.
