M.G. Car Club Y Type Register
Registrar’s Report 27th May 2023
Since May 2022, we have conducted an audit on the registers database. We have noted that the figures reported last year (2022) for the live YA of 710 was incorrect and this should have been 704. The audit also found 4 duplicate cars on the database, which have now been corrected. We now hold information on a total of 1233 “live‟ cars worldwide.
The total number of cars on record amount to 1,964 and we can confirm that of this number 182 are regarded as being dead. The remaining 549 cars are hopefully resting, awaiting discovery and are currently unclassified. Who knows? This year, we have made changes to information held for 23 cars.
The accuracy of the information we hold is not always consistent with the current status of individual vehicles. It is possible that, over the period since the Register was formed, some of the cars listed as “live” may no longer be so.
On our database, cars are given a “live” designation where information has been received since 1991 when the Register gained its independence from the T Register. “Live” does not necessarily mean that the car is roadworthy. It may be awaiting or undergoing restoration.
