MG YA/YB

4-door sports saloon.

Would have been 1941's new MG and looks it, with its Morris Eight body panels, cramped body, and close-set pedals that won't fit feet over size 10. Chassis inspired TD's, and has same suspension and steering. YB's have twin leading-shoe brakes, 15in wheels, and hypoid rear axles. Charming, but runs out of steam at 70mph.
