    EG774 a Riley Car ;

    What we do know [Carjam is not perfect ] is this...

    Year: 1937
    Make: RILEY
    Model: CAR
    Colour: Green
    Body Style: Saloon
    Plate: EG774
    Engine No: A5882
    Chassis: 27A5882
    Vehicle Type: Passenger Car/Van
    Seats: 5
    CC rating: 1,200cc
    Fuel Type: Petrol
    Assembly Type: Unknown
    Country of Origin: United Kingdom

    So as Ray says it is a " Riley Car ".

    There is this though - about the plates = Rego Plates

    EG774
    Plate Type: Standard
    Origin: NZ New
    Used as: Private Passenger vehicle
    Cause of Latest Registration: Re-Registered
    NZ First Registration: 16-Jul-1971
    NZ Last Registration: Get Full CarJam Report
    Was Registered Overseas? No "

    So Re-registered - presume when restored - as used to let Rego's lapse back in the day, if the car was being repaired /restored or just stored
    - Then they The " Gumment ". LTSA VTNZ Dept of Transport whatever, made it that you had to Register for 3 months every two years to retain the plates.
    Then continuous Registration came in so now you either Register every year or get the Plates/Rego Number put on hold for a period in order to retain the Plate .. as seems to have happened with [ was mine 1978 -85 ] Triumph TR4A.
    Personalised Plates is another story - an expensive one..

    MOTAT (The Auckland Museum of Transport and Technology) now seems to be aimed at young school children so the number of cars on display is dismal.

    Aren't we lucky that we grew up at a time when a major manufacturer brought out a new model and it was totally different from either it's competitors or predecessors.

    Remember 1959? (Some of you won't of course...) but no one could confuse the Ford Anglia, Triumph Herald, Mini, Saab 95, Panhard PL17 and a whole heap more.

    Always good to see a straight 8 car built by the company that made the BEST Spitfire/Mustang/Mosquito/Lancaster engines

    Are you saying that Rolls Royce could not properly make their in-house designed engine ? Interesting that the Mustang was NBG without it. LOL

    Thank you. We had a really great day today, lots of encouragement from everybody, and the car was well received. Most nights of the last 6 months spent out in the garage stripping, fixing, and rebuilding every part of the car was all worth it today. Unfortunately the only part of the car car we haven't touched ( fuel pump and filter ) let us down half a lap from home in the last race. But we'll get that sorted out and tune a few other things up and have another go at Manfield in a few weeks time.

    It was also great to finally meet Dale Mathers today, along with Graeme Park, Adrian Dobbe, Jennifer Mossman, Richard Quinn, Bob Hyslop, and a few other people who's names I've forgotten ( or didn't hear properly because we had earplugs in ). I hope Spgeti will come and see us at Manfield so we can finally put a face to the name.

    Now I just need to find a Sports Sedan for me so I can race with my brother instead of being his spanner-man ( not that I mind that though )

    I should point out that David and Andrew and their parents are one of those families who have put a tremendous amount of volunteer time into car club events, for many years, in their case, with the MG Car Club. We could never have run successful race events without the Metford Clan running the dummy grid.

    Look forward to you getting a suitable car Andrew!
