- Hi, fellow MG freeks, Any historians out there? I still haven't received the logbook for my '72 BGT but I now have the commission number. Can anyone tell me when GHD 5278685 was built? MTIA Dave Hill

- '72 GT's started at 258004 and ended at 296000 if that helps. Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards. -Sir Fred Hoyle, British Astronomer Stev

- The commission number is not very useful for identification, unfortunately. The factory stopped recording them in 1971, according to Clausager. However, the serial number should pinpoint the date of

- Hi Max, I'd be happy to tell you what the serial no. is--if I knew where to find it. The car has arrived without its registration document, which is due to arrive soon. However, the engine number is

- Aha! So that's the problem. The serial number plate should be on the inner wing valance, forward of the radiator, on the left hand side when viewed from the front of the car looking back under the bo

- Hi Max, Grateful thanks for that. I've had a quick look for the s/n and all I can find is what appears to be a broken-off tag on the left (from rear) inner wing. What remains is a 1" x 1.25" piece of

- The 'commision' number was usually of the form 'G.23 N. nnnnnn F.' on a red-bordered plate. The number you quote is more like a car/chassis/VIN (black-bordered), but has too many digits. Roadsters bu
