KARLUIE52001 Â Â 10 #1 Posted June 9, 2018 This Might be a Long Shot, But I am Looking for a Car that was left for some restoration, in Sheffield. It was/is a MG BGT SPORT,1970, Blue/Cream,Reg XUM634J, It was last seen in a Garage in the Sharrow Rd area around Priory Rd, The Car belongs to my now wife, (who still has the Original Log Book in her now Married name of Lambert.)but was left by her then Husband who Passed away ! His Name was Malcolm Smith, I believe he ran the Bridge Inn for some time ! My Wife's Mother used to have a Shop in this area Betty Hill,(Still Alive & Kicking) He left the car with a Chap By the name of Jim ???? who did some part time Lecturing at Hallam University in Car Mechanics ? Engineering ?in the 90s, I believe he had a Garage Businesses down Attercliffe , Near what was then Andrews HGV Training & Bus/coach depot, where Malcolm worked, What we are looking for is Information as to whether the Car still exists or has been sold /Broken up ?? Just for some Closure !! Any Information would be Greatly Appreciated !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Person6 Â Â 10 #7 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) In the early 2000's there was an MGB and a Hillman Hunter in a yard or on a drive just above the Junction of Sharrow Lane/Priory Road, immediately after the row of three storey terraced houses, I can't remember colours or other details. There may have been another old car in there too- memory a bit dim. Edited June 12, 2018 by Person6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
soopah   17 #8 Posted June 12, 2018 I feel like I've seen this somewhere. Or at least a cream coloured vintage car in a garage in S10. Pretty sure the Reg started XUM. Not completely sure it was an MG though as I could only see the Reg and lower. Didn't look in pristine condition If your registration document is up to date (address etc) then you would have had a notification if someone attempted to reregister it.

The arrangement of the houses around the yard was a bit odd. Someone I used to work with lived in a flat in one of the houses which is how I saw the cars.
