My much travelled AG tourer I now find had a registration JA 2392 (Stockport) before going to Hong Kong (AP9057) and California ("Historic CHITTI") now back in the UK it has been allocated YXS 938.
Does anyone know if Stockport Records from the 1930's are still accessible? If so I might take on the DVLA to see if I can reclaim the original number. I can trace the lineage to an extent, knowing the car was shipped out of Liverpool in 1969 (no export docs though....) and the 1969- Hong Kong owner is very much alive and could provide affidavits if appropriate/helpful! Only if Stockport can confirm the export etc would I have a decent chance.
