A wedding car that will take your breath away. If you can see yourself sitting in this beautiful old classic ... read on.

The MG YT is one of just over 100 surviving YT's out of only 891 produced.  She is the second member of the family and was purchased from Chris Swale in Pinetown in July 2006.

She was found in Cape Town in a very sad state in August 1999 and brought to Durban where she underwent a chassis off restoration which took Chris two years to complete.

Chris has provided me with the following details. Richard Mitchell owned the car for about 15 years and brought the car with him when he moved from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. Richard had all the instruments restored and this was the motivation behind Chris acquiring the car. The car was in boxes and it was roughly tied together with wire and put on a flat bed and tranported by Bigfoot to Durban. On arriving in Durban Chris discovered that the floor and boot were beyond repair and so used part of a YA saloon body which he found through Dave Lawrence in JHB, Author of the excellent book :Let there be 'Y's.
The motor is from a MG TD and is the motor that arrived with all the bits.

NB!! Ladies: With the soft top pulled over the wind is only slight so it won't mess your hair up!

Another thing to consider is that the soft top is easily and quickly pulled up or down. This gives a wider scope to further enhace your photographs.

What if it rains?
