This shows that the car was originally supplied by University Motors of Picadilly and, to my knowledge, is the second oldest UMG plate currently known to exist on a Y type. My understanding is that the car was painted Trafalgar Blue sometime in its past but was restored to its original colour of Almond Green before I purchased it. During my ownership the car has covered just on 40,000 miles. During that time the engine has been rebuilt due to a broken crankshaft and fitted with a lead free cylinder head. Over the period I have broken two half shafts which have been replaced with two specially treated, heat hardened shafts. http://www.mgccyregister.com/node/15345 -- Last edit: 2012-08-07 14:07:09 (G-MANN)
