It ought to be good for the asking price!

I've inspected it in person two years ago, before it was ever for sale. It's in good condition, but not in excellent condition. In my opinion, its fair value could be around $12,000. It's very far from being in a pristine condition which would warrant its asking price.

That Y is one that Earl and Jane Hemstreet of Tampa imported from Australia. It was in our Suncoast classic Mg Car club for many years until Earl passed away. eventually Jane donated it to the museum (I think). One different thing about this car is that the tool box is not in the normal position. It was mentioned that some early Y's had this difference.
Glenn of Glenns MG St Petersburg Florida did some major work on it.This included a replacement crown and pinion.

Hi Conrad

Early Ys (aka YAs up to Y 4459) had a battery box located on the left side of the car. This was centralized to permit LHD format on the YT and on the LHD (a few were made!!) Ys.

The left side mounted box is undoubtedly the best, unless you live in those countries where they carry their swords on the right hip.
