Nice discussion Barney,
In my case it was the other way.
Being a real novice, I bought my 1971 BGT in 1990.
The car was directly imported from the USA and the seller (local classic
trader) sold me the car without any title.
I only got the import papers with the car and that was it.
It took me several years to get the car roadworthy (4 young kids consumed
most time) and at that moment I had to register the BGT in the Netherlands.
Although the inspection officer said the car was at a superb condition, he
was not able to supply me the Dutch registration papers.
I had to show official papers, which had to prove the year of make and where
the car had been manufactured.
It just happened, that at the same time an officer of the BMIHT
http://www.bmiht.co.uk/bmiht/index.htm approached the list for info about
all known MG clubs in any country.
Having helped the best man with all relative info of the Dutch MG CC, I now
could approach him for a quick help. So he sent my quickly my GT's birth
certificate, which finally helped me getting the Dutch registration
finalised. The GT has the classic registration plate AH-43-24 - a sixties
looking title.
I hope this story may help novice classic buyers, to have all needed papers
accompanied with the classic car you want to buy.
Cheers,
Hans 71 BGT
