Default Question from a new owner - Royal Blue 479

Hello all, my name is Jim, I live near Bicester and I was a member of the MGV8 Register a few years ago (ex MGB GTV8, then RV8 owner). Bought my SE saloon (LB04 EOS) about 3 months ago from James at Elite and am really pleased with it - low mileage, no rust and all seems ok.

Does anyone know anything about the history of this car, former owners, previous club registration etc as I am really keen to document as much as I can.

Thanks

Jim

Hi Jim,

Glad to hear you're enjoying the new car, it'll be well worth you getting onto the 'Two-Sixties' forum, full of V8 specific info and possibly the history you're looking for on there

Good luck,

Paul.

Thanks Paul, I am a member of the 'Two-Sixties' and have taken the liberty of posting on both that and this forum, just in case!

Probably not much help but the car was originally supplied by G Kingsbury of Hampton, MG Rover dealers (now Ford) and 'lived' in that area of Greater London till around 2007 then moved to the St Leonards or Hastings area for about 6 years. Finally ended up in Walsall for 2013.

Do the DVLA still do photocopies of previous V5 info on request, they used to years ago?

Jim

I saw that car, while he had a red 260 in at the same time.

Didnt think much of the seller or his cars to be fair!

Still, at least the blue one had the windscreen fitted properly, and the headlights and wheels were in ok condition.

I think the blue one was one of the only ones that hadnt had the wheels poorly "refurbished" into a dark anthracite colour.
