Hi all in the E type BB. I am an xj-s owner and tried to access your register with no success, reason being I am curious to see if my old car is "in the club". The car in question is a 1968 series !.5 roadster, 4.2 ltr in british racing green with tan interior . Reg No WGH 579G. I owned the car in 1975/76, I sold the car to Gold Seal motors of London. DVLC has informed me that the car is still registered, so hopefully the owner is with us! Many thanks for any help , Mike.

If you still know the VIN then you could try
www.xkedata.com there are over 11000 E-Types registered there.
Even without the VIn you could still try other options well worth a visit.
Failing that I have the JDC E-Type register book which has over 5000 E-Types registered if you send me a private mail I could check in there.

Mike,
Found it!!
It was found in Vienna with the registration of WN833C. The new owner Chris Thompson lives in Coventry restored it and it now has its old reg No. back.
It is now signal red with black interior.
