This car is now in Stevensville, Michigan. It was purchased by me from Hymans Ltd. (St. Louis MO) in August 2009. Its previous owner was in Illinois. It appears to have gone from AZ to CA and then to IL and now MI.

BHG 520 was the registration number (number plate of my very first car, an Old English White 1953 MGTD. I have re-used the number on "Primrose". I have added the "H" because that is the code number (on British license plates) for cars made in 1970.
