'YT' 4-seater open tourer (1948-1950) had twin carburetors (54 bhp at 5200 rpm).

'YB' saloon (1951-1953) as 'YA' but with anti-roll bar, smaller wheels, deeper wings, and detail engine changes. Approximately 8700 built.

Side note: The Y-Type was the first MG to have the independent front suspension design that was ultimately continued through the MG TD, MG TF, MGA, and all MGB through 1980 (not for the MGC).
