[Healeys] Looking for photo of a 3000 Mk1 (UK)

Not true. In the UK a central licensing authority was set up in the mid 
1970s called the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre (DVLC) in Swansea, 
Wales. All County and Metropolitan, then current, records were passed to 
the new Authority (DVLA) but they did not record any history. The 
historical records were left with the original authorities who in most 
case destroyed them soon after. A small number did keep copies but not, 
I believe Hertfordshire where I believe that this car was first 
registered.

Incidentally it is going to take the owner of this car a lot more than 
just a photograph to recover this registration number. We have an 
officer in the Austin-Healey Club UK who is recognised by the DVLA and 
he is the best person to advise.
