Hello,
My father is wondering if the whereabouts of 3 of his old
cars is known? All 3 vehicles are showing up as still registered
at the DVLA, and 2 of them have current road tax too
Austin 7 TR 31**
MG TC EDL 3**
Harbilt Electric Milkfloat MPO 2**D
Somewhere I do have pictures of the Austin and the MG.
please feel free to mp me if you prefer.
Many Thanks
Steve. |

Hi
If you go to the photos section of the first link, and then Random Floats 2 you will find a couple of pics of Harbilt floats _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
Straight 6
V8 V10 |

Bit late seeing your reply Rick, so here goes:
Austin 7 TR 3103
MG TC EDL 398
Harbilt Electric Milkfloat MPO 297D
my father ran a dairy and operated a fleet of Harbilt electric milk floats... he took the dairy over from my grandfather who used to deliver the milk from the sidecar on his Norton motorcycle.... how I wish I had a picture of that
Cheers Steve |

TR 3103 is still around, according to the DVLA it's a 1927 Austin Seven; it does not appear on the Austin Seven Clubs Association register, so I would guess it belongs to a VSCC member, many of whom are not members of Austin Seven clubs. |

Hi Mike,
Many thanks, it's got current road tax too:
The vehicle details for TR 3103 are:
Date of Liability 01 07 2014
Date of First Registration 24 01 1927
Year of Manufacture 1927

I scoured the VSCC galleries but couldn't see it there! At least now I know I am looking for a blue one!
Cheers |

Rick is right, I typed a registration of a MG TC that belonged to my uncle into google and found the car straight away. Within 10 minutes had swapped email with the present owner and forwarded the photo on to him. |

May I suggest that you contact Hartlepool College of Further Education, they could very well be interested in hearing from a former owner. [/img] |
