A few years back I started researching the history of my MG PA (PA0414, regno BPE258). I thought now is a good moment to share my results 
- In 2017 I managed to get in touch with the daughter of the first owner who sent me a picture of the car in front of his elderly home together with his family.
- Earlier this year I managed to get in touch with the family of an other owner. (1946-1955) A couple of weeks ago I received a number of pictures from a family photo book that surfaced.
regards, Koen

Weldone Koen,
Nice pictures from a nice time, I guess.
Luck for you that the foto book surfaced.

First time I have seen a radio aerial on a MMM car. Need good volume on radio to catch music when going through the gears., up or down the box. Nick.

The car is still in pieces. The chassis, axles, suspension and recently also the engine are now ready. The body is work in progress.
