where reg No NRR 84 is.

I have got a 52 mm series. When I bought the Smiths clock was not working. They are very rare in original condition and some people are asking stupid prices. eg one on ebay not working £300.00. if you can get one in original condition and working for under £100.00. then then I would buy it. PS. Afte...

Does anyone know if the boot lid should be lined with a sound proofing media?.
My 52 mm series seems to have signs glue residue in the main center panel has if there has been something on it .

THANK YOU GEORGE MUCH APRECIATED.

Hi Mike, It is the 52 MM of Ray Newells. Original Registration was NRR84. It then went to live in Jersey for about twenty odd years and had the plate number J30184. I imported it back to England and tried to get NRR84 back from the DVLA but I suspect they flogged it. It has now got the plate YVL841....

My 52 four door MM series has rough paintwork (not rusted) and signs of glue inside the boot lid (see image attached). In the factory did these cars have a sound-proofing media/material fitted to the inside of the boot lids? If so does anyone know where I can get some from? Many Thanks

Hi Paul, sorry no answer from me, but concours is done via regional rallies as well as at the national rally, so it would be hard to know without getting info from each separate event. It might be worth asking Mike Perry (series MM register) as he's very knowledgeable and also know many of the peop...

When I connected the wire with the 12 Volts to the terminal and the other wire to a screw at the back the clock started working. When I closed the glove compartment it shorted out?

Please advise, I have just bought 52 918cc series mm, the car has won con course 3 times and it was owned by Ray Newell.it has been in storage for long time in Jersey. The original clock in the glove compartment cover was not wired up. Could someone please advise me how to wire it up. It is a positi...

I bought a 52 mm and the clock in the glove box cover has been disconnected. When I came to reconnect I found a fish plate between two screws so I am a bit stumped. The car is + earth. So my question is does the live wire showing 12v go to the connection which is insulated [the one that stands out p...

the clock in my 52 MM took out the 17a fuse after I connected it,
Should the clock be totally insulated from the glove box cover?

That's great news thank you
