About: MG YT Tourer
Production: 1948-1950
Body style: 4-seat open tourer
Engine: 1250 cc XPAG 4-cylinder, twin SU carburetors
In 1948 several (currently believed to be 9) "YA" Types (consisting of chassis, engines, and some body parts) were imported into Switzerland and given cabriolet bodywork by various coachbuilders, such as Reinbolt & Christé. The idea of the open four-seat tourer had been popular before the war, and in theory, there was still a market. As a result, a "TC" specification of the XPAG engine was married to a pressed-steel open body with a fully folding hood and coach-built doors.
A production tourer, the MG "YT", was launched at the Motor Show in 1948. It was available for export only in both right- and left-hand-drive models. Only 904 of these cars were produced when production ceased in 1950-it was not the success that MG had hoped for, and indeed other British manufacturers were also having problems selling open-tourer versions of their saloons.
The "YT" Tourer did not benefit from ‘displayed’ woodwork but had the same standard of seat trim. It did have more instrumentation, in that there was a tachometer (or rev counter) in front of the driver, and the speedometer was positioned in front of the passenger with a central bank of subsidiary dials in the center, giving a similar sporting appearance to the TC with a "double scuttle" dash.
