| | MG J2 - Reg: AUC 938 - I am the owner of 1933 MG J2 Reg: AUC 938. This car appears to have been sold in March 1933 in Abington then in Dec 1933 by Marsh Brothers of Tudor Garage in Bromley to Mr Hessenberg. At that time it had a black body with green upholstery and green wheels. In early 1934 the owner appears to be a Mr S Robson and there is a connection with University Motors in Cheyne Walk, London. If anyone has any information on the car, or possibly a suitable engine to assist in a rebuild, then I would be very interested to hear from them. Email k.aiken@btopenworld.com or 020 8390 9655.

| | MG J2 - Reg: MG 2819 - I owned an MG J2 back in the mid sixties the registration number was MG 2819. I have often wondered what happened to it and whether it was re-fitted with the proper MG engine rather than the Ford 100E engine that was in it when I bought it. I had two years pleasure from this car even taking it on a trip to Switzerland before regretfully having to sell it. Would love to hear from the present owner.

| | MG J2 - Reg: OY 5189 - In the mid 1960s I was given a broken down MG J2 registration OY 5189, I rebuilt it and drove it on the road including taking it on my first trip to Europe going camping with a friend and drove it several laps around the old Nurburgring race circuit being photographed afterwards with the 1000km winner sash on. I had no garage, having to work on the road outside my parents and had no money so around 1967/8 had to sell it. I loved that car, which was like a giant Meccano set and often wonder what happened to it. Does anyone know if it still exists? I still have an old MG workshop manual for the J2 as I was regularly taking it to bits and putting it back together again including replacing the crank shaft which snapped because of the "Two barring" problem. andy.watts@moomarketing.co.uk andy.watts@moomarketing.co.uk |

| | MG MAGNETTE ZB - Reg: 20 JPU - I am trying to get some information on the whereabouts of a MG Magnette ZB which was owned by my grandad from new. The car was manufactured in 1957 and was originally powder blue; until my grandad had it sprayed dark grey. He owned the car until he passed away in 1972, when my dad became the owner until he sold it c1974.

I wondered if anyone has seen the car lately or indeed knows if it is still on the road. My e-mail address is tjworley@tiscali.co.uk any information will be gratefully received. tjworley@tiscali.co.uk |

| | MG VA - Reg: MG 6023 - I am trying to trace an MG I owned back in the 1960's. It's an MG VA open top tourer, 1500cc. With knock on type wire wheels. It had number plate, MG 6023 which I was told was one of a few that MG factory registered themselves. I had it for 2 years and managed to get it through x 2 MOT tests at the time. I put a new hood on it and repaired the engine. The poor white metal shells though were worn. I found new tyres for it at the local tip. It was green in colour. I was living in Rottingdean near Brighton, East Sussex and I sold it to people from Woodingdean, the next door village. Any ideas where it may be? I am hoping it is still in one piece and someone is enjoying owning / driving it. RogerStorey@uk.agcocorp.com

| | MGB GT - Reg: SGW 458L - Twenty years ago I drove a bronze-yellow MGB GT I had owned since 1976 into a barn in darkest Essex for storage, intending to restore it when I returned from the US. Six years later I sold it to the farmer as he wanted to restore it. He didn't and sold it on. The registration number was SGW 458L - anyone know what became of it? Email: dave_spalding@hotmail.com dave_spalding@hotmail.com |

| | MGB GT - Reg: TAH 705N - According to DVLA website the car is still on the road and its current owner has taxed the vehicle until 01 06 2010. The car is a UK original Right hand drive; its colour is I believe original MG Harvest Gold.
The car was sold sometime in the mid 1990's in the Norwich, Norfolk area and had undergone a reasonable amount of restoration work, I am not sure how many owners it has had since.
I would like to trace the car and know of its whereabouts and condition, it has sentimental value as the car belonged to a family member, I would consider buying the car back should it ever become available. I will offer a reward of £100 worth of MG Owners Club shop merchandise to anyone who can successfully put me in contact with the current owner. Email: elliott03@cytanet.com.cy

| | 1964 MGB ROADSTER - Reg: CTY140B - I have rebuilt an iris blue 1964 MGB Roadster over a period on time, I have been unable to find the original owner, I tried the DVLC, they have sent me their records of the car which only go back to the 70s, with 5 owners, I have written to all these and only had one reply, I was told by the DVLA that the Reg CTY140B was issued by the Northunberland County Council on 6-9 July 1964, the car was dispatched to A Smart Ltd Newcastle-on-Tyne on the 17 July 64 who said the records for 1964 were more than likely thrown out. So 1974 is as far as I can go back, it would be super if I could find the original owner. Please contact me at: c.e.lanning@homecall.co.uk c.e.lanning@homecall.co.uk |

| | MGB ROADSTER - Reg: ALX 150H - I have recently bought a BRG MGB Roadster registration ALX 150H. This is an original English car and was exported to Ireland some time in the past ten years. It was traded by an Irish dealer against a caravan or motor home, with the intention of restoring it. The restoration was partially completed and the car bought by a dealer in Kent who sold it to me.

| | MGB ROADSTER - Reg: BCT 392B - I am trying to trace my fathers old 1964 MGB Roadster, tartan red. He purchased the car in 1971 when it had approx 69,000 showing. I have my fathers sales invoice dated April 1971 when he purchased it from Eric C Burtons in Grimsby, I do believe it was fitted with a hardtop at the time. I have had a look on the DVLA website and believe the car is still around. If you have any info, or even better a pic that would be greatly appreciated. There are 2 further MGs he owned MG Midget in racing green, reg 627 SBF, and a 1972 MGB GT, reg SJV 85 H. I do believe these two have been scrapped, but if you know otherwise, it would be nice to hear that they are still about. Email: andrewdyson71@hotmail.com

| | MGB ROADSTER - Reg: ETB 540 B - After 33 years I have finally once again become the proud owner of an MGB Roadster I got my first one for my 18th birthday and actually learnt to drive in it. Sadly due to financial restrictions I had to sell it and spent the next 15 years driving Spitfires. I finally changed to "sensible" cars after the birth of my daughter but at long last have managed to return to my first love. Here in Mallorca it is possible to drive topless for 9 months of the year and apart from the odd case of sunburn am loving it. I often wonder what became of my first car. When I sold her she was black with a gold hardtop and cream soft top. I will never forget her name - ETB 540 B. Is she still around? I would love to hear from her current driver if she managed to survive the British winters. I adored her and cried as she drove off into the sunset with a new owner behind the wheel but I can smile once again as I proudly weave my head turner in and out of the traffic looking pityingly at the oh so common cars cluttering up the motorways.

| | MGB ROADSTER - Reg: HPG 67C. - I’m trying to locate an MGB Roadster on behalf of a longstanding family friend. The car was a British Racing Green MGB Roadster registered new in 1965 as HPG 67C and our friend John purchased the car brand new whilst living in Surrey. The car had a black leather interior piped in white and was fitted with wire wheels and overdrive both being an option at the time. The MGB was owned by John between 1965 and 1968 when it was sold. Unfortunately thereafter we have no idea what has happened to the car and would be keen to confirm if it’s still around or became victim to the dreaded rust bug. Email: Peter.Childs@uk.bp.com
