  Some months ago the CT MG Club circulated Guildo's request to the Club
members, apparently without success.
  Guido,  my suggestion is that you attempt to gain this information from
State of Connecticut, Department of Motor Vehicles.
  By the way,  the DMV is planning to discontinue issuing titles for
vehicles 20 years of age or older.  CT Council of Car Clubs is opposing
this "cost saving" action, in the belief that titles have some value in
establishing ownership and that the selling price of an untitled vehicle
may be adversely affected.   One asks why the DMV wants to "save cost" on
titles for which it charges a significant fee--if the fee is
insufficient, then raising it would be appropriate.

right front wing.
