About this car
The MG Y-Type was the company's post-war saloon, a small four-door with independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, which was unusual for a family car of its era. This 1953 example uses the 1,250cc XPAG engine with a single SU carburettor and a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on second, third and top.
It is finished in claret over cream with a matching leather interior. The page says the bodywork was restored in 2019-2020, along with new leather seats, headlining, door cards and a carpet set, together costing over £4,800. It was first registered on 10 June 1953 and is in the historic taxation class.
The dealer is open about the car's condition. It needs some further attention from its next owner, and the price reflects that. Odometer reading is 61,000 miles.
