An ‘Auto’biography of History

An MG Y-Type parked in front of the Crown Hotel in Lyndhurst, New Forest. The Crown Hotel is still in operation, now as the Crown Manor House Hotel. Anyone who visited Beaulieu in the New Forest in the South of England, either as a vacation destination, to visit the National Motor Museum, or to find MG parts at Beaulieu, the worlds largest British car parts swap-meet, may have driven through Lyndhurst, or even stayed at the hotel. There was a YA followed later by the YB but the two are only minimally different and mostly referred to Y-Type. The spare wheel was behind a separate cover under the trunk lid, which appears to be darker in this photo, which is too small to see why and what the object, that appears to be on the right side of the rear bumper, is.
