Sold Feb 2008, with registration GN55 LZR to a gentleman living in Newdigate, Dorking. The serial no is 685. I suppose the obvious move would be to contact the person who purchased it.

    Has to be worth the effort. It looks stunning in your Avatar

    The Beech Hill Garage site mentions that they have another one due in on Dec 17, worth investigating.

    Like minds, I also checked with the DVLA which has prompted me to write to the gentleman I sold it to. He could be a member of the Two-Sixties of course.

    Thanks to one and all for the interest in my quest.

    I met the guy you sold it to soon after he purchased it. He was picking his son up from school at the time and I mentioned the Two-Sixties to him then and thought that he might join up but unless he is one of our 'silent' members I don't think he ever did. I have seen it a couple of times since but not recently.

    The one Beech Hill have just sold is No 650. The one they've got coming in is No 605 and they've been told is was one of the Rover V8 press cars.

    VIN #605 was featured in a MGR photoshoot for a poster with Matthew Pinsent. Photos in the Gallery.
