Bill,

I sold my 73 TR6 earlier this year to a fellow from the Boston area. 
 Vermont recently changed it's titling laws where they only title cars 15 
years and newer - I was having a correction applied to the title for the 
TR6 when all this changed and they sat on it for a long time - I sent him 
away with the car and signed over the REGISTRATION which should suffice for 
you.  He simply worked with the Mass RMV to show the rule changes - worked 
fine as he was able to register it without transferred title.

My TR6 PI was the same as the PO just signed over his New Brunswick 
registration - no title for the car.  Just work with the DMV departments 
and they should be able to determine that the car precedes titling, etc. 
 Good luck.

I've been negotiating to buy a '65 TR4 from a guy in Massachusetts. He's
had it since before the title law went into effect in late '89? '90? At
any rate, there's no title, because there was no such thing when he
bought the car.

Has anybody on the list recently purchased a legally owned pre-title-law
car from Massachusetts? How does one prove ownership of such a car to
New Jersey Motor Vehicles? If you can't answer that one, how about to
Mass Motor Vehicles?

I've posed this question by email to NJMV, but I'm not confident in
receiving a reply before my trip to Boston this weekend.

TIA.
