The registration number is not currently working on the DVLA website.
The tail appears to have received a similar manx treatment to my Daughter's car.

I think you will find that it is VX 9768.

There was a pic of it on the MG Enthusiasts website with the caption "Les Hurlock's M-type in Suffolk in the early 50's."

Apparently it went to India and was on a Tea plantation. I kid you not.
I do not claim to understand the story or the sequence though.

James is James Warren who had Tea gardens in Assam

Crikey, well there you go. Any chance you could send me a link to the tea plantation tale please?

Cheers

A second image of the same car is also for sale from the same vendor.
