''The devil is in the details.'' Or in this case, in the registration number. Registered MWL 666, this MG YA Saloon, a classic automobile with a rich history, is a testament to its exceptional preservation over the years. Originally delivered to its first lady owner on July 17th, 1947, this remarkable vehicle still retains its timeless charm. It boasts a sleek Black paint finish, complemented by a Green leather interior—a combination that has gracefully endured the test of time. In October 1984, this iconic YA Saloon found a new home in the possession of the late Jens Pilo, who ensured it led a life of unparalleled care and attention. Remarkably, even after all these years, the car has only covered a mere 68,000 miles from its initial purchase, a testament to the dedication of its owners in preserving its originality.
One of the most extraordinary aspects of this MG YA Saloon is that it has never undergone a full restoration. It remains a genuine, untouched classic, with no major rust issues and still proudly wears its original leather interior and carpets. This level of authenticity is a rarity among vintage automobiles. To keep this automotive treasure in peak condition, it has received meticulous servicing and has always passed its MOT inspections with flying colours, thanks to the expertise of renowned specialists. As a result, this MG YA runs, drives, and handles superbly, offering an authentic and enjoyable driving experience. Additionally, the car retains its original registration number, further enhancing its historical significance and authenticity. Finding an MG YA Saloon in such a lovely patinated and unaltered condition is indeed a rarity and a testament to the dedication of its previous owners. It is an opportunity that is likely to be unmatched and cherished by vintage car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
