For those with a little bit of time - too hot for the garden:
In the current crop of (UK) magazines, there is a MMM car advertised which is unrecorded on the MMM Register or otherwise known to have survived (before everyone gets excited, it's not K3010). This car is not a "barn find" or "dumb-iron rebuild", but would appear to have a continuous history & is in an unrestored but road-worthy condition.
Answers on a post-card as they say...

Robin,
It's a four rather than a six & the same magazine issue (June) contains a feature article many MMMers will have read (if only in in the Newsagent).
It's also advertised by a dealer rather than private add.

I have searched 'Classic Boat' and 'Old Glory' from end to end in Smiths.
I am plunged into depression after reading about the effects of ethanol fuel in "CCW'.
Like so many MMM owners I am of a certain age and am likely to have expired before the clues are announced!
The ancient need instant gratification far more than do the young.
I have no time to wait.
Bob CC.

OK,
June Motorsport, P152, J3260. I might add that it wasn't me who spotted it, but the member of the family who makes a hobby of recording these things. If you go to the web-site photos, the car would appear to in a glorious time-warp circa 1960. There was more in the magazine than just the article on K3001.

So how many more are there to be found in the UK???
I know of a running [well, now and again] M that is not on the register - and is not one that was removed in the recent cull/clean up of registered cars 'cos it is not on the 2009 or 2001 register

Does anyone know whatever happened to the M type , chassis number unknown, that used to reside in an open fronted shed/ barn, behind the main street in Oakham, Rutland many years ago, probably 30 plus years ago. Was it saved?

Yes, they still emerge...!
I am about to go meet a bloke who has just fired up a J2 which is unknown to the Register.
He acquired it recently after the previous owner had worked on it for many years.
He has been told it has a prewar racing history and once was fitted with a single seat body.
Interesting, eh? You bet! Will tell you all about it later.......

The two J2 chassis on eBay one a car in bits in Wales and the other in Barry Walker's posession are not on the current register (J3613 and 4019) and keep your fingers crossed I may have come across another one -bodyless, I understand, but otherwise much cherished...
Cheers

4019 hasn't been heard of since it left the factory, but the engine turned up in the 60s with J3689.

Hello Brian and your post of 16/06/2010
...much later by the sounds of it.
I cannot contain myself any more, so go on, do tell, the suspense is exscrutiating.
Yours,
Sean |
