My Austin 7 came with the original license plate - MW 6137 still attached. Recently on another forum there was a link to the Kithead trust
http://kitheadtrust.org.uk/ transport archive, Turns out the MW prefix is a Wiltshire car and today from the Wiltshire & Swindon Historical Society I received this:
‘MW 6137; Skurrys – written in pencil; A.H. Graver; Savernake Forest; Marlborough; Car Austin; 31/01/1930’.
So, I have the first registration of the car! Hurray Also, the dealer, Skurry's of Swindon sold Vauxhall, Opel, Jaguar and Rover. (at least by the 40's) -anyone know anything about them?
There is something to be said for leaving the plate with the car rather than the owner as they do in North America
amazing!
