I received the following note from Howard Guiney
<howardguiney@hotmail.com> and replied as noted below. If anyone has
info on this car, please contact Howard directly. Thank you.
Original Inquiry:
>FROM: Howard Guiney (Area Secretary)South Manchester MG Owners Club
>
>Hi, I hope you can help me? I have had a email request from Eric, a
>French MGA owner (email: EDuffort@aol.com )
>He has bought a ex USA imported 1961 MGA and because he can't
>provide the French Authorities with proof of the cars American
>registration number (title document?) he is unable to drive the car
>on the road!
>
>I hope you can provide some assistance in finding out the
>information for Eric as he is very desperate to get his MGA back on
>the road where it belongs. The car was imported into France on the
>1st July 1997 and the chassis number is GHNL2/105309 perhaps the car
>was on your register before being exported.
My response:
>Howard: I am the publisher/editor of MGA!, the bimonthly magazine of
>NAMGAR. I also have been working with the NAMGAR registrar, George
>Merryweather, <namgar.registrar@airmail.net> and other registrars
>and members of MGA and MG organizations from around the world to
>prepare a Worldwide MGA Database. The last edition was August, 2000
>and it contains over 10,000 MGAs registered around the world.
>
>Unfortunately, GHNL2/105309 is not listed so I have no means of
>being able to track any previous owner. I would suggest that you
>post your inquiry on as many MG and MGA lists that you can. (You may
>have already done this!). The NAMGAR Web site has links to all MG
>sites. I will post your question on the Owners-MG-Digest (a list of
>which I am a member) with a note to have responses go to you.
>
>Sorry I cannot be of further help. It must be frustrating for Eric
>not to be able to drive his MGA. Hopefully you can find out more
>information on this car for him.
