Series 2 travellers do you know of any now or in the past?

Post by mbo145 »

I have been busy archiving all the series 2 traveller register, passed on to me from Mark Howard and Bryan Gostling before him. I have over 200 entries, but I am sure some are no more and others are tucked away to be restored at a later date! So you lot, what I would like to know is have you ever owned one, scrapped one or still have one? Any re-registered ones? Please let me know what you can, dates colours FLA11 3????? numbers age good as is a first registered date. I look forward to hearing from you!

Minor enthusiasts don't appreciate the work us "number crunchers" do
- it's a battle to get the info, but don't give up!

I don't record regns, so not much help!
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Is this a 'local' register or do you want details of cars in other countries too?

Hi Scott,
I am after worldwide records please, I hope to write or email different Morris clubs soon, and see haw many are around the globe, I have quite a few older records dating back to the early 1980s in the USA and some more recent cars being sold on Ebay, records so far for other countries,
USA 43
AUSTRALIA 8
CANADA 7
NEW ZEALAND 3
IRELAND 2
FRANCE 1
HOLLAND 1
GERMANY 1
CYPRUS 1
HONG KONG 1
Most of the cars above were originally exported, and I know a few do still survive, but I am awaiting confirmation on some, the FLE11 3????? number is important as in other countries the registration plate changes from area to area, so may change on the same vehicle.
If you have any contacts I would be more than happy to have a chat!
Thanks
Phil Traves
