Re: [mg-tabc] Car History - Factory Guarantee Tom (and others who are new and therefore have not read - or forgotten - my previous notes on this subject) Heritage do NOT hold any records of T-types (except maybe copies for the last TFs) - the Factory "Build Sheets" are owned, and in the possession of, the M.G.C.C. at Abingdon. As Registrar to the T-Register, I have copies of all the T-type records (some 53,000), and can let anybody know the build date and the original engine number of their car. Even better, the T-Register has had reproduced the factory guarantee sheet (or at least the top page of it) and I can type the relevant info onto it (using an old upright Imperial from the Abingdon M.G.C.C. office). What we (or anybody else) do NOT have, are the service dept. records which went into a skip (although there is a rumour about a fire) when BMC had a shake-up. There is no way of tracing the actual history of a car other than through the previous owners, and in most cases they are impossible to find. The cost of said guarantee is a miserly $10, postpaid, airmailed out to you in a tube. Simply send a $10 bill (or any other local currency to the same value) to me, Roger Furneaux, at: [b]BUDDLE FARM, BROADWOODWIDGER, LIFTON, DEVON, PL16 0JR, U.K.[/b] PS Badger has already had a go at Olde England - he has to remember to set his watch back 500 years each time he sets foot on our historic shores (or Heathrow tarmac). To which my reply was that we live in a 500+ year old farmhouse, i.e. put up before the Mayflower set sail and not showing any signs of falling down yet, although we do have a few 20th. century amenities! oc[b]T[/b]agonally Roger

[quote]Has any one had recent occasion to contact BLMHT to establish a car's history? I did it some years ago, but have lost the address, etc. and don't know if they're still doing this? Cost? British pounds only? Best, Tom Rutledge
