>Hello again, David, > >You will have already received my first message to you, and I'll try to >clarify your queries. You see, I get info from any source I can, including >what Jim and other compilers have for all the MGs I do. Usually, individuals >run across messages I have left at various sites and referrals from others >such as yourself help greatly. This is strictly an attempt to create a >history for others so they can add to their own. Please encourage others to >send their data whenever they can. I can always add more information when it >becomes available. The date a party purchased his or her MG is also the date >I add to the list. I have scores of cars from Australia whose club I got >limited data, but to an inquiry to the club, I received no reply as to the >owners on their list of members. Since then, I have received more-current >information on the sale of a number of those cars, and so on, and so on... >For instance, I know your engine number and that you live in La Mesa, but I >don't know your color, any previous owners, or any special equipment (which >I add if known). I try to contact other clubs, but with few results. > >All info is in a database, which I can search on any item. So far, I have >825 TC records of 1316 entries. That is a far cry from the thousands of >original and subsequent owners there are. And, as you know, many people, >including members of my own club, Vintage MG Club of Southern California, >ignore or forget my requests for information. By the way, you might wish to >visit our Web site at vintagemg.com. You may find it even interesting enough >to join our group, the largest active pre-56 MG club in the U.S. We have >many members from the San Diego area and from around the world, too. > >Anyone can either e-mail me, call me at (714) 995-4523, or drop me a snail >mail at 4312 Pearl Court, Cypress, CA 90630-2017.
