Also Link to "www.motorbase.com" . But other sources say this was 1950 car and TD ended 1953, so may be a funny one. I think it's same car as this - /vehicle_826453.html - so merge?? Cotswold Museum had other 50s MGs including a green YA saloon, but nothing like that picture.

But YT could fit better eg http://onlytruecars.com/data_images/gallery/01/mg-yt/mg-yt-11.jpg , https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/MGYtourers.JPG - higher bodyline at rear. Which presumably means the Museum never identified the car properly, and no-one else realised.
