MG MG Y Type - STELLAR PRICE FOR A YA?

Dear All

I am well aware that prices are rising but £19.5k for a YA! Have a look at the car on the Car and Classic website Reference C2422996 which is excellent and does work as I can testify having sold my TA on it.

The YA is in green and cream and is registered MKA 933.I believe that it was owned by a former secretary of the MGCC Y Register who had it restored around 2001(?) by Chisbon Cars (?) for around £13k.It was a superb restoration and does look very nice now. Though I would have thought that the correct fog lamps could/should have been fitted at that price.

It'll be interesting to see if it sells - I think the YT on sale at Chelsea Cars is still for sale at about £23k and that has been there for some months.

I guess the key to this is ensuring that your pride and joy is valued at the going rate.I thought about that on selling the TA and realised when I checked that the valuation at the time was £2.5k less than I was asking for it!

All the best

Jerry,

Remarkable if they ever got this amount for YA, YB maybe ('tongue in cheek') no being serious looks nice car. Certainly nicest out of the few on the site for sale.
