MG MG Y Type - NOF 919 Where are you now?

I recently met a Previous Owner of this car, who had it for a short while when he was "a lad" back in the 1970s. He would like to know that it is still being used and make contact with the current owner.
The IMGYTR data base shows it as "known" but not on the DVLA data base. It is in fact on the DVLA, but to find it, the "make" must be typed in as MG YB. (space between MG & YB). This and the fact that the DVLA shows it first registered 21st Jan 1998, shows just how incorrect their system can be. The 1998 date is possibly when the car was put back on the road after a rebuild?

The IMGYTR data base shows the last owner to be in Northumberland, which is not a million miles from where the PO lived in North Yorkshire, so perhaps the car has remained local all the intervening years.

If you are the current owner, or know of this car, then perhaps you would make contact with me.
Thanks Keith

The MGCC Y Type Register has this car recorded. We last heard from the owner in 2002 when he lived in Tyne and Wear.

Thank you Peter. This ties up with Northumberland.
If anybody in that neck of the woods of UK knows this car, please get in touch.
Thanks Keith

Hi
Many thanks for this timely bit of info.
I am pleased to report that the previous owner has now been put in contact with the current owner, thanks to Peter Vielvoye and I understand a few long conversations have ensued. I understand that the current owner has been asked to update all records, so we don't loose track in the future. I'll pass on this latest gem.
Thanks all concerned.
Keith
