Since the February issue, some more cars which are known to DVLA have been ‘discovered’.
The front cover shows TA1593 (ENU193) and ‘Lost & Found’ records TA2668 (DRK 889) – both cars are taxed. ‘Lost & Found’ also records TA1697 (YSU 797) as ‘Untaxed’.
Roger Muir has come up with a few more cars from those owned by Octagon members. TA 0675 (EML 386) and TA xxxx (BBL 634) are both taxed. TA xxxx (AMO 866) and TA xxxx (YS 9976) are both shown as ‘Untaxed’. TAxxxx (BDF 402) is on SORN.
A late entry is TA3237 (GNU 610) and is taxed.
Continuing with our focus on TAs, Stewart Penfound, TA/B/C Registrar for the MGCC T Register, has a list of the following TA registration numbers which are known to DVLA, but for which he doesn’t have a chassis number. We hope to solve at least some of the mysteries by publishing this list. If you can help, Stewart can be reached at stewart.penfound(at)btinternet.com [Please substitute @ for (at)]

Referring back to the previous issue (Number 70, February 2022), the total number of TAs known to DVLA was given as 597, of which 315 (52.8%) were taxed, 221 (37.0%) were either untaxed or not taxed for on the road use, and 61 (10.2%) were on SORN.
The total number of TAs known to DVLA has now increased by 45 to 642, of which 329 (51.2%) are taxed, 248 (38.7%) are either untaxed or not taxed for on the road use, and 65 (10.1%) are on SORN.
When I set out along this road back in August/September 2021, I said that I’d be disappointed with a total of less than 300 and ecstatic if the total exceeded 350.
Well, I’m very pleased with the outcome and there might still be a trickle of new ‘finds’.
What I consider to have been the most pleasing outcome of the exercise is that Stewart Penfound has been able to update his records, so they are now more accurate and complete than they have ever been. Of course, the ongoing challenge is to keep abreast of future changes, but the cooperation between the T Register of the MGCC, the MG Octagon Car Club and the MG ‘T’ Society is set to continue, not only for TAs, but for all T-Types.
From now on I don’t intend to publish any new information, but I’ll be happy to pass on any new information to Stewart.
Alternatively, you can contact him direct at: stewart.penfound(at)btinternet.com [Please substitute @ for (at)]
It’s possible that Roger Muir, Editor of the MG Octagon Car Club Bulletin, may uncover some new ‘finds’ when he publishes a lengthy list of registration numbers in the March Bulletin. This will appear as this issue of TTT 2 is (hopefully) away at the Printers.
Roger has been very helpful, both to Stewart and myself in notifying TAs not previously known by Stewart, which are owned by Octagon members.
Now to start a similar exercise for TF1500s known to the DVLA!
Life is never dull!
I own MGTA FKN 849 and the car has been off the road since 1989 so not sorn as it has been off the road for over 30 years.
