The car was a Y-T or Y touring 4 place open car. It was built on a YA
chassis. They had a fold down windscreen and the top was hidden in
zippered pockets when down. It had the same XPAG engine as the TC, a
bit more powerful than the YB saloon. They had the build in hydraulic
jacking system from the YB. Most of the cars were built for import
and were left hand drive. They are really neat little cars.
