I purchased my 1933 Austin 7 RP box saloon VT9016 in 2017. The previous owner in Inverbervie purchased the car in 2013. I have no more history, although the V5 indicates 11 previous owners.
On the dvla MOT page the only MOT recorded is a pass on 13/10/2011 at your Citroen/Peugeot garage in Bradford on Avon (reference 5190 7668 1276)
DVLA records MOTs for my Morris back to 2005, so presumably the Austin had been off the road up until the 2011 MOT.
As DVLA now refuse any requests for information due to GDPR, I am looking for help in finding out some more of the car's history.
The chassis number is 169095 which is March 1933 but the engine is 224911. From the chassis register spreadsheet, I think the engine must be from a 1935 car.
The note on the chassis register spreadsheet has "2014-May-SCA7C Reg U/D - 2014-May Ex-MA7C"
From this I understand that the Scottish Austin 7 club recorded the car with the Inverbervie owner in May 2014.
However, MA7C must refer to another club which could give me a clue towards the car's history.
Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
