It has not changed. I have sent a message to the current owner to alert him to this thread.

| Thanks both, he will be pleased to know it still exists. If the current owner wants to be in contact they would be welcome, maybe it can fill a couple of gaps in the history. Former owner is in Australia, following many years in South Africa. |

This is a quite rare 2 seat NB which is one of only 98 built - I wonder how many survive.

Hi George and everyone. I just bought another NB 2-seater (3 NB 2-seaters in 3 months, simply unbelievable), and this one too is known to the register being NA 0954. After a complete refurbishment in our workshop, I'll put it up on the web-site, or it can be seen completed at the Int. Classic Car show at the NEC in November. A really original car that deserves a new lease of life, which it will get.
I believe I may have sold BPX 709 to Canada, when I was a boy!!

BPX 709 is alive and well and living on the west coast of Canada. Car recently traveled under its power for the first time in the 38 years I have owned the NB. Car was acquired from Barry Walker in January 1974. I appreciate the photos that have been brought to light and would love to find out more about the history of BPX 709. I am interested in finding where the car was originally registered and info on color of car and interior when new but do not know how to research this. I will send updated pictures soon.

Hi Pat
Welcome to the Triple-M web site.
The MG Car Club in Abingdon keep all the chassis files and can supply a copy of these for a small fee - John Innes is the person to contact.
I note from the Register that your car carries the easrly Register number 335 -I can supply you with a Triple-M badge engraved with this number. The application form can be downloaded from our web site. You will also be able to see the information on our bi-monthly Bulletin
If you can supply us with a photo of the car we can put this on the pictures pages.
Best regards
George
