Q & A: Univeristy Motors Records

John,
The reason for my inquiry is this - and it is a long shot. I own an MGB which started it's like in England. It was delivered to University Motors London on 21 March 1969 as a 'special', I think it had a bit more chrome on it or something. Lindsay told me you worked there, I have since read your story on your web site. I am trying to find out anything about the car's history in England. I know it's been a long time but do you know anything of the people who ran University Motors London and if any records were kept? My MGB spent it's first 20 years in England before being imported to Australia. In it's first year in England it must have been in a severe accident after which it was given a new body but the car's identity continued. I have traced car numbers etc through the British Motors Heritage Trust. It was restored in 1995 and eventually found it way to me. This little car has travelled to the other side of the globe and has probably had many owners - if only cars could talk. I might add that only an MG fanatic would try to trace a cars history. It is a long shot but if you know anything from your time at University Motors London I would appreciate it.
