YAH 95J ??

YAH 95J ??

2002-12-26 by Don Lattimer <donlattimer@pacific.net>

Hi folks,

YAH 95J

That's the original plate # that was on my 1971 Marcos in the UK 
before it was imported to the US. I know the "J" means 1971.  Can any 
of the UK folks tell me what the other letters/numbers mean??

Also, can any info be found out about previous owners or locations by 
using this plate number??

Hope you all had a good holiday and "best wishes" to all in the new 
year!

Per Haegermark ( e-mail svkg@... ) of the Swedish Marcos Owners Club keeps (or kept) a registry. He may be able to give you some info.

Hi Don,

The AH bit identifies the car as being first registered in 
Peterborough in East Anglia.

You MIGHT be able to contact the DVLA and get the old log books for 
the car (I did this way back when I got my car and it had addresses 
for all the previous owners).

Marcos Heritage can sell you the build log for your car which (I 
understand) often lists the original owner, but I've never parted 
with the cash to get one for my car.

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks Billy,
I found their website and will order the history. What I got from Rory was just the original papers, nothing after the sale.

Hello Don
Some thing weird happened yesterday, I was sorting out some A4 papers when a note dropped out 2 1/2" * 2 1/2".
It had these words written on it. Wheel studs Corsair rear 1735132 ; 7/16" UNF YHA 95J.
It is in my writing but I just don't know why. If I remember I will let you know.
Regards Jac

Jac,

Could be something although you state the plate is YHA 95J and mine 
is YAH 95J.  I have a letter from the factory which says the rear end 
is from a Corsair.  The brake drums were re-drilled to match the 
front bolt pattern.

The UK owners I know of are:
1. Peter Jackson (West Winch, Norfolk)
2. E.A. Perry (Norfolk)
3. David Gibbs (Cranfield)
4. D.E. Hancox (Shirley)

Ring any bells??  Also it appears that John Allen was the dealer??  
His address was Great Waldingfield, Sudbury, Suffolk.

Thanks,

Don Lattimer

Hello Don
yes it is YAH 95J I just typed it in wrongly.
After the new year I will try and get down to why I should have this note.
All the best and a Happy new year Jac.

How bizarre - Jac, have you ever acquired any Marcos literature (club 
magazines, etc) from other owners? I'm always tucking little items 
like this in my magazines.

Interesting to note that the first 3 owners are both East Anglia (as 
the reg, which makes sense). Cranfield is not far away, being near 
Milton Keynes (slightly North West of London), but there are 4 
Shirleys ranging from Southampton in the South to Derbyshire in the 
north).

Don, if you need any help (eg UK cheques or anything) getting the 
DVLA documents, let me know.

Cheers,

Mark

Ah, right.

That's in Birmingham in the midlands (about 60 miles from Milton 
Keynes, at a guess, as the crow flies).
