[Mgs] title wanted

Nice discussion Barney,

In my case it was the other way.
Being a real novice, I bought my 1971 BGT in 1990.
The car was directly imported from the USA and the seller (local classic 
trader) sold me the car without any title.
I only got the import papers with the car and that was it.
It took me several years to get the car roadworthy (4 young kids consumed 
most time) and at that moment I had to register the BGT in the Netherlands.

Although the inspection officer said the car was at a superb condition, he 
was not able to supply me the Dutch registration papers.
I had to show official papers, which had to prove the year of make and where 
the car had been manufactured.
It just happened, that at the same time an officer of the BMIHT 
http://www.bmiht.co.uk/bmiht/index.htm approached the list for info about 
all known MG clubs in any country.
Having helped the best man with all relative info of the Dutch MG CC, I now 
could approach him for a quick help. So he sent my quickly my GT's birth 
certificate, which finally helped me getting the Dutch registration 
finalised. The GT has the classic registration plate AH-43-24 - a sixties 
looking title.

I hope this story may help novice classic buyers, to have all needed papers 
accompanied with the classic car you want to buy.

Cheers,

Hans    71 BGT
