MG MG Y Type - Pathe News Films

This may have been referred to before but an interesting short film on which you can see TDs, Ys and RM Rileys can be found at:

Once again apologies if this is old hat or is on this site somewhere.

For some reason or other, even with my firewall disabled, I cannot see any videos on the Pathe site. Does anyone else have this problem as I would love to overcome it and see this video?

Is it because I am not using a UK based server?

Any geeks out there??

Managed it this time - very fun video thank you David.

I can enjoy them at last! Please keep them coming as you find them. I see this one has a Y chassis being worked on at about 40 secoonds in as well as some in the background at the end.

Some nice stuff there...the car has reg MNC 850 I think.
D MULLEN

Look at 1:33 how there are oil spots on the floor, from those brand-new TDs! A must-see for all MOT testers.
Remo Peter

Sadly it looks like the DVLA have no record of MNC 850 any more so it is probably no longer with us.
