|
|
I bought 4 years ago an Austin 12 Ascot Saloon 1934 chrome rad.
It had the licence plate ABJ 561 , papers unknown.
It was brought to Holland in 1973.
The VAR and ATDC cannot help tracking former owners.
Does anyone know something about ABJ 561 ?
Thanks |

Do any of our Suffolk members know where East Suffolk Records Office might be?
At my local library, there are the Southend registration records for 1904 - 1939 in a hand written ledger giving details of the vehicles and the names and adresses of the first owner.
Could be another place to look. _________________ Brian

Not sure, although they might have been destroyed, a lot of these old records were when the records were computerised in the 70's.
Brian, that sounds really interesting! Do you have to ask permission to see it? I might have a look next time I'm there. _________________ Richard Hughes |

You need a current Library card, last time I went the "Essex Records Office" was on the second floor. It is a fascinating read, with all the famous local families, old place names etc. give yourself at least 3 or 4 hours for a good browse! _________________ Brian

Well I used to have one, no idea if it's valid anymore as I last used it when I was about 10! I'll have to see if I can dig it out. I have a lot of books.... _________________ Richard Hughes |
