RE: Martin Walter. - Colin Morgan - 04-07-2020
Original photos of this car are in the Association Magazine 2010B, pages 20/21, where it mentions a previous appearance in 1977A (pages 25/26) and a restoration in 1972. The reference from 1977 is to a 'Cars We Own' item where it is given as belonging to someone in Kent at that time. So, despite, losing its registration number, it should have survived?

112560, now a light colour (1977), Sept 1930, Miss Harper-Davies, Beckenham, Kent.
Not on register!
surely this is a time to lodge on the register as it was publicly seen at the time and plainly has disappeared into some collection or other. Engine number and all details there.
In fact, that should happen for all the 60/70s mags....

Yes Colin, I supplied them to the Association magazine.

Thank you for sharing on here. Perhaps someone will know where it is now?
RE: Martin Walter. - JonE - 04-07-2020
I've sent it in to registrar with info that plate gone. It needs to be lodged.

Can we register cars we don’t own on the data base? Somehow that doesn’t seem right to register a car without the owners knowledge or permission?
RE: Martin Walter. - Reckless Rat - 04-07-2020
The rear screen in the light coloured car is a lot bigger than the 3rd photo of the dark coloured car...

If it's the same car, which it probably is, the drop-head top has been replaced with a fixed head.

Do you not think with that article and the information given, the owner in 1970s has essentially put things into the public domain? They could have held back the details. And also, it won't be a car record, as there is no registration. It would be a mere lodging of that chassis and engine for posterity...
I'm interested in the pros and cons. But what ARE the cons?
