This is my berkeley SA322 that I'm restoring, it is chassis number 22 so it was made in late 1956 but over time has lost its registration. Can you help? The BEC has no record of the car.

Nice car Cool and nice "Bubbly" in the background Cool

Is the "Bubbly" a British Isetta ? or German ?

Fabulous pair!

If the BEC has no records I think your only option will end up being the age-related registration route. Was it ever used in competition? if so maybe a motor club (if still around) might have records - long shot I know. Do you know the first owner's name?

PS interesting wheels.

Hello Jens, the Isetta was a bit of a mistake! I had a little too much red wine one evening and bought the Isetta on Ebay, it was a complete wreck but I managed to bring her back to life after very much hard work and many hours re-building the body and tinkering with the engine. I recently sold her as I needed the space and money to carry on with my Berkeley projects. I still
have two more T60s to do.

Hi Ric, I doubt this car would have been raced, the later models were of course and did very well in competition. Age related number is where we are going with the car via our club registrar. The last known owner (1982), John Bridges from Wiltshire moved to Cyprus 10 years ago, I've had no luck in all my attempts to contact him or anyone else who has contact with him.
