Re: Very dodgy ebay listing - please report

are age related registrations transferrable?

selling old style buff log books in one thing, but current V5's?

suspect a touch of Basil here

Request the chassis number, usually works

Re: UK papirs on 1957 minor in DENMARK

Or early M/AT3

Did Cowley built cars adopt the 'M' chassis prefix
prior to the chassis number quoted in the OMM book?

Try the mg site for bmc engine prefixes, not 100%, but
ok for most engine types.

Essentially, 276 XUC is a re-registration.

Re-reg as London only went as high as reversed "G"

Re: Specification advice

Pm the chassis,body & engine number.

Saves a lot of time faffing around taking off trim and
using magnets.

Re: VIN issue

Does the stamped vin tie in with the numbers on the vin
plate?

The body number suggests a pre facelift yet the car clearly
displays the central speedo.

What body nos - not vin - is quoted in parts books as the
change point? May be different on Cowley built Minors.

Re: Could this be fraud? (V5c on ebay)

I agree with Dean.

This is the problem with the no MoT for pre 1960
Minor's - increasing amount of enquiries we receive
are pre '60 chassis nos with post '60 body nos.

Glad you got there in the end, although you're a digit short on the body
number.

Is there signs of 'Clipper Blue' paint on the car?

Re: Build changes 1954

Don't have any 1954 2drs listed in the records, will
need full details - chassis/body nos. - of an early
Minor with central speedo AND a late one without!

Always in need of ANY chassis/body numbers AND a
Parts Book!

Re: Build changes 1954

What body nos (B) is quoted for the change to central
speedo?
Body nos apply to Minors built at Cowley, and can preceed
chassis change points - although I doubt by this much!

Re: Stolen Minor Million

Seems a bit strange to me why the owner was not keen on
the car being inspected by a expert body repairer - you'd
think the owner would jump at the chance of someone
sympathetic to Minors AND living just 5 miles away would
give a honest opinion?
