Very, very sadly I have had to part with this much loved M-type after over 56 years of ownership
Does anybody have any digital pics of the car that I might have ?
The older the better
On the Continent or the USA even better.

Is this it, Tony? This was on the 1991 Triple-M Raid on New England.

THanks for that Lew.
Sadly not my car - it belongs to Rob Medynski from New York.
Mine is second from right - next to Peter Thornleys car.
Might you have a pic of mine ??

Happy days, Simon. I would still love to do the Ulster trip all over again. Thank you for organising the original trip.

Happy days indeed, Colin, and thank you for your kind words. Sandra and I did look at doing a rerun but too many things had changed. The Dunadry Hotel had changed hands and couldn’t offer as good a price and a number of other places were no longer in business. Plus, and most importantly, Hillsborough Castle no longer offer cream teas in the Throne Room! So we decided to quit while we were ahead.

Hello Tony, here are a few more photos of your car. Although the B/W photo shows it being driven in the USA, the car and the driver are not know to the North American MMM Register's (historic) database.

The M in the second post, with the number 32 on the windshield, is 2M1369 and it could have been on the 1991 Triple-M Raid on New England when it was with Rob Medynski. The last we heard, it is now is with Eric Richardson from Michigan, who brought it to the 2012 GOF Central in St. Charles, IL (where, I believe that particular photo was taken).

Thanks for the pics.
Are you sure the B&W one was taken in the US?. Buildings in the background don't seem very American
The next pic was taken at Silverstone.
The car was never on the US MMM register [we were never asked to join] But the car wore a USA MMM Register badge for many years - donated by my old pal David Harrison from Virginia.
However to attend the GOF we had to join the New England T Register, whose badge was still on the car when I sold it. Oddly nobody ever asked me why I had such an odd badge {in the UK]. You can see it on your "one more" post.
