There is an album of photos featuring this car in Lawrence's sale next Tuesday
Lot 132.
https://www.lawrences.co.uk/sales/fine-art-sales/fc250521/?p=1&s=40&v=list&q=132
The car does not appear in my copy of the register which is a pity, what a find for the owner.
Should the club show an interest? Many, many photos of the car trialling and a few other cars as well...
Best wishes

I think that ANE641 was originally allocated to PA0562 which was last heard of living in Japan.

Colin,
Your reference to PA0562 may have been a typo on your part, because PA0562 has BPE 400.
ANE 641 goes with PA0582.

Thank you John, for putting me right. It wasn't a typo, but my data sheet had a mark on it which made 582 look like 562. I have now corrected my notes.
Cheers, Colin.

I think Peter may have been referring to the Register or at least the MGCC buying stuff like this?! If so, I think we/they should  !

Such photos can command eye watering prices. I recently bid on a collection of period photos of Austin 7s for the Archive I am responsible for. A collection of 65 images, some better than others, made an extrodinary £1200 plus commission - £1600. Don't be fooled by the 'come bid me' estimate...

I was and I agree, I think the club should too but probably too late for this album.
Mike Dalby came to see it today, I wonder if he is listening???

I have spoken with a family member of an owner of one of the depicted cars and there is awareness of and interest in the auction.

The album sold for just under £500.
I hope the right people got it.

To be a little more precise £460 plus commission - a friendly 30%... £598 all together...

Any news?
Did they buy it?
After your post I refrained from bidding.
Cheers

All
For info, Cat raised highlighted the subject of archive info last year and we discussed it, when this auction house had other albums and memorabilia likely to be linked to ANE641. I’ll go with wider opinion but herewith my views for what they are worth.
I firmly support collating archive material to build profile on how our cars have been used over the years and specifically to tie period pictures of cars to records of those cars still with us. Various items come up – a) parts and important trophies that carry commercial value; b) local trophies and pots that probably don’t have much tangible value but are important if linked to a car, and c) photo albums, capturing the story of the cars in the pre digital age.
The Register has some cash reserves, however as highlighted here prices for items can vary wildly and reserves can easily be used up; such material once bought is unlikely to be sold so other than writing articles I’m not sure how you rebuild the reserves for the future. Sadly, for photos of cars which are believed lost/scrapped (I understand from last year this is the case for ANE641) its likely the use and sharing of info is all the more limited.
From the discussions last year I drew a couple of clear conclusions:
- For auctions/ebay etc and photos/car linked pots and memorabilia (ie b&c), the best bidder in the room is likely to always be the current owner. The Register/community can play a valuable role if it can network and inform an owner of items they see coming up for sale. This also avoids us competing/bidding up items against the owner
- We encourage our community to donate items or share albums with us. My feeling is most enthusiasts would want this and even if we borrow an item and copy the images we have most of what we need. These items appear at auction probably largely from estates, so if the message was out there with wider family we may achieve what we need. We could cover content and give recognition to donations in the Bulletin or Safety Fast.
I’ve suggested I could write an article along these lines for the Bulletin/Safety Fast. Happy to accept suggestions/views/comments and how we share this message with wider community?
John
