Look at the condition of this car, and think on the fact that it was the cheapest four seater closed car available on the British market when new, that it was 24 years old when filmed, and had survived WW2. Remarkable. -- Last edit: 2021-11-08 17:29:50

The Y was designed in the USA, after requests from the Directors of the English subsidiary for a vehicle with which they could have a valid competition with small European cars. The first Y, EV 5689 was registered in Britain on 15 April 1932, full scale production of a slightly changed car commenced in August 1932 and the design was facelifted in October 1933.
