MUCH OF THE EARLY HISTORY ON THE VINTAGE CARS SUCH AS YOU PA MAY STILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MG CAR CLUB IN ENGLAND. I HAVE THE WORKS RECORDS ON MY J2 FROM THE CAR CLUB THAT SHOW THE FIRST OWNER SOME REPAIR SHEET UP THROUGH 1939. ALL THE CARS AFTER THE VINTAGE GROUP WERE DESTROYED WHEN THE PLANT WAS TORN DOWN. THE ONLY REASON THE VINTAGE STUFF SURVIVED WAS A CHAP IN THE CAR CLUB SAW THEM BURNING THE RECORDS AND PURCHASED SOME OF THOSE RECORDS FROM THEM. I WILL SEE HOW FAR THOSE RECORDS GO BACK.' CARLYLE
