I presume that the MGJ car is a different one to that ending in 126Y?

ah

thats it

was trying to remember, it is the 126Y car, and as far as i know original W H.

was talking to Chris P ages ago about it. Think it frustrates him as being the one out of reach so to speak!
and the current owner will not do anything with it. Would not be so bad if it was looked after at least, or put in an airchamber or something, instead being left to rot

hi

dvla check

Date of Liability 01 11 1989
Date of First Registration 25 11 1982

so would guess 89 when last driven! real timewarp

Think it had a plate change...will have to find the details.

Regards

Steve

OK, I may be getting my cars mixed up. Did MGJ not become AXI 1699 (or vice-versa) vin 5592?

I also thought that CP had owned if for part of its life, up to maybe 07

No, from memory he tracked the car down eventually to a guy who brought the car quite young but could not afford to insure it so parked it up in a garage and left it. CP tracked him down via DVLA and arranged to go see the car, the guy had left it in the garage soo long they had to cut down various overgrown greenery to get the garage door open! The garage roof had also been leaking so the car was in quite a bad state. Apparently the guy was not up for selling at all so afaik it still there in need of attention

yes

and as far as i know not for sale. CP is desperate to buy it as does it complete his 'collection' of axi cars.

Also a shame it cannot gets its original plate back, presumably long gone.

could this be the last unrestored RHD car (original)
