This is on the first page of this thread, dated 23 October. So in fact just over four weeks ago. If, as we are assured, it was simply a clerical error, so to speak, I do find it odd that there was a variety of explanations, or attempts to deflect the issue, until we got today's explanation. I'd have thought it should have been possible to have given such a simple answer four weeks ago.
And it does strike me as a bit odd that, if it was a simple transcription error, it then needs to be discussed at Committee and a further announcement made. But no doubt all will be revealed next week

Does this help the search and encourage an answer as what happened to the Register number of NA0365?

That was an image from a public site for goodness sake, hardly anonymous.
As for anonymity, featuring with this non-Register car in COTY is not a good way to hide even from this illustrious community.

Yes Tony you can, it’s your car so do what you want, no need to “chop” just remove all the componnats to transform in to the desired special/replica/ copy, store the removed items so they can be reunited with the car at a later date for yourself or the next owner.
Yes Charlie it’s a good looking motor car and I hope the owner really enjoys owning, driving and competing in it.

Oh dear! I'm afraid to say that this topic has gone some way to discouraging me from MMM ownership.
A long time ago now (1983) I bought a J2 for rebuild. It came with Ford engine & a "custom built" body and a collection of very rusty & worn out parts. Since that time I've acquired a new body tub, panelled in ali, bonnet, valances, mudguards & wings. The fuel tank was beyond economic repair so was also replaced. The engine is now MG type but with almost everything newly manufactured, apart from rocker cover & oil filler. Upholstery by Collingburns of course.
Obviously all safety parts hubs, steering, axles etc have been replaced with new.
Given the tenure of this & similar topics, should I now be calling this car a replica, repro, rebuild, copy, or special? Or do I really have an MG J2 And how should I price this for sale as I seen to own a now-contentious vehicle?
If I'm not wanted in the MMM Register I will of course resign my membership.

| Derek,From what I can see you've put a pretty horrid j2 with the wrong engine back to the spec of a factory J2 , so don't get rid of it ! If you don't want to be part of the register fair enough, just drive it and enjoy it. You've put a lot of effort into it so enjoy it . Though i do understand how you have come to the views your having after reading the topic here, it's not the same mmm world it was 20 years ago! |

Please do not allow these recent topics to put you off your MG. Your J2 looks gorgeous and as Oliver says, drive it and enjoy it, you have earned it!

Please do not be put off enjoying your J2.
Imho the discussions is about making an M.G. represent what it is not.
And in the process destroying original cars with an less desirable body style.
As Oliver and Nick have kind off stated it is never an attack on someone using all the available resources to put a back in use representing what it is.

The problem is when someone has a car and says it is something it isn't, usually for monetary gain.
