MG MG Y Type - HEIGHT OF MG YA AND YB

I am considering the purchase of a four post lift for my two bay garage. I have a MG TD which I would store on top and I'd like to store a YA or YB underneath. Before I buy the lift, I need to know if this will all fit in my garage. I need to know the height of a YA or YB.
I remember reading years ago that there is a website that lists the dimensions of all cars. I don't remember the site URL and I thought I would ask here for some one to measure their car.
Thanks.

Milton, As you can see you only need 1.5m to fit a YA under the hoist.

What is more important is getting a hoist they you can walk under without hitting your head.

I am 1.82m tall, and a lot of hoists are a hazard. I shopped around quite a lot to find one with suitable clearance for my height.

And if you don't have an issue with height, just remember a lot of your visitors will !.

Gentlemen
Thank you for the information and your helpful comments.
I will also keep in mind Tony's thoughtful point that a hoist should be able and have enough clearance for the owner to stand up under the car.
Kind regards,
Milton
