HX4683

[Bill Sheehan]

Apparently in the late 1980's the HX Middlesex registration records covering the years 1930 to 1933 were held by a private individual living in Carlton in Nottingham. It's possible this individual may no longer be around / have moved address / be too old now, so it might be worth contacting the Kithead Trust - link below, to see if they have any knowledge of the whereabouts of these HX records today - they would hopefully confirm the details of the car when new - chassis number / engine number etc.

The car is listed in the A7CA Chassis Register as an old entry last recorded in the year 2000, but said to be a 1931 RM Saloon. The chassis number shown on the Register is 131670 which would date the build of the chassis to March 1931 presumably as an RM - but for whatever reason it's carrying an earlier body (as shown in the photo) and the car doesn't appear to have been first registered until over 12 months after it was built - is that likely?

Apologies for hijacking another thread, but on the subject of number plates (because I can't get a new posting to work) -  Do any of the cars listed here belong to  Forum Friends?  HW122,  UO251,  YR4816,  MR6316,  RV6162,  800GPK,  YB7720,  PT8970,  PP7116.  If so, would appreciate your help if you could contact me on ausevenoz@gmail.com   Cheers,  Bill in Oz
