Je me contente de constater, et, au fond de moi, je me dis que je manque peut-être quelque chose en refusant d’affronter l’hiver au volant d’une Ancienne. Je ne suis pas un restaurateur, la peur de mal faire m’empêche de toucher à la mécanique. Je me contente de soigner l’apparence, le chiffon microfibre et la Nénette à portée de main. Il est vrai aussi que je n’ai guère le loisir de m’occuper de mes véhicules. J’ai à peine le temps de les faire rouler régulièrement, mais ceci est une autre histoire… Pourquoi vous parler de mes soucis de collectionneur ? Pour, en fait, vous dire que, quelle que soit la façon de l’aborder, notre plaisir de posséder et de faire rouler nos véhicules est bien réel. Alors, si quelqu’un, pour un quelconque motif pseudo-écologique et franchement démagogique, s’avise de m’empêcher de vivre ma passion, il me trouvera sur sa route !

The MG Y-Type in America
n the years immediately before the Second World War, MG sought to supplement their popular range of 'Midget' sports cars with three saloons of various sizes and engine capacities. These were the'S', 'V' and 'W' models. MG, at Abingdon-on-Thames, then in Berkshire, had grown by developing what were in essence Morris-based prod ucts, and in the future they would be compelled to use much from elsewhere in what was to become the Nuffield Organisation (Morris, Wolseley and later Riley). Nuffield heredity could be clearly seen in these pre-war saloons, which were in great part WolseJey-derived. The '\VA' had an engine capacity of 2,561cc, the 'SA ' had 2,288cc or 2,322cc, and the smallest of the group, the 'VA ', weighed in at 1,548cc. The next development to the range was to include one more saloon, of smaller engine capacity than the 'VA', and for a com ponent-base, the Cowley design office turned to Morris's Ten Four Series Msaloon which had been introduced during 1938, and the smaller Eight Series Ewhich was shown for the first time at the Earl's Court Motor Show of 13th October that same year. Thus was the prototype of the 'MG Ten', later to become known offiCially as the MG lX Litre Series 'Y' , developed for launch at the 1940 Motor Show. And, although it was primarily a Cowley concept, much of the fleshing out was done at Abingdon Steve Neal of Arrowsic, Maine, beaming with MG V-Type No. V/5241 , and it was therefore given the Abingdon Design Office prototype designation before restoration, which resulted in the two-tone beauty at top of page. -
