Analysis of Results
Before examining the results in detail, I should mention how I arrived at the figures in the foregoing listings.
The research method was identical to that used for the TA exercise and involved trawling through the MGCC ‘T’ Register’s on-line database for details of all TF1500s with chassis numbers of cars which are shown to be located in the UK. For those chassis numbers showing a corresponding registration number, the registration number was then cross referenced to the DVLA enquiry facility where the car is either shown as:
- Taxed
- Untaxed
- Not taxed for on road use
- SORN
(or won’t be shown at all i.e. is not known to DVLA).
The ‘Untaxed’ and ‘Not taxed for on road use’ are cars which are not (or should not be!) on the road; the explanation of the difference between these two categories was given in Issue 69 of TTT 2. Cars covered by the ‘SORN’ category are also not on the road and have been declared by the owners as such.
The total of the chassis numbers listed is 274. Of these, 48 don’t have a record of their registration number and 20 don’t show up from a DVLA search. This leaves 206, of which:
- 149 are Taxed (72.3%)
- 40 are either Untaxed or Not taxed for on road use (19.4 %)
- 17 are on SORN (8.3%)
As to be expected, Home market models account for the majority (161 [58%]) of the 274 chassis listed and 93 (62%) of the 149 TF1500s shown by DVLA as ‘Taxed’.
I hope that the publication of this article will (as we found by publishing the TA research in recent issues of TTT 2) result in some new TF1500 ‘finds’. If anyone has details of these, I’d appreciate it if they would pass them on to me jj(at)ttypes.org [please substitute @ for (at)] and I will contact Barrie Jones. Barrie is the Registrar for the ‘T’ Register of the MGCC covering the TF model and he has been very helpful to me.
Finally, a ‘commercial’ for ‘Barrie’s Notes’ Maintaining a 1955 MG TF in the 21st Century. It is available from me for £6 plus postage of £1.65 (UK). Overseas postage costs are more than the book costs, so please email for a quote. jj(at)ttypes.org [substitute @ for (at)]
