Chassis YT4458 Engine 14440 Exceedingly rare MG YT Tourer. The YT was an open drophead, two-door rendering of the post-war YA range of four-seater saloon cars, although it differed far more than just not having a fixed roof and fewer doors. The whole Y range of cars had a pre-war look as they had, in essence, been designed in the late 1930s. Although over seven thousand YA and YB saloons were made, less than a thousand of the tourer version YTs were actually made in total of which slightly … [Read more...]

Alvis 4.3 Vanden Plas designed Tourer (1937) POA

Alvis produced 166 chassis over the period 1936-1940 of which 56 were fitted with Tourer bodies.
