My series 2 is an export model.Exported by Nuffields to Pireus in 55. Still has an old chrome GR label on the back. The point is how do I find out what its registration was before it was re-registered in the UK in 1957?

I would have thought that the Greek authorities in Athens would be the only place to have that sort of information.

Great Idea!!
Unfortunately the car was owned and shipped from over here (uk) by a lady who worked for our embassy in Athens. This was in 1954 or 1955.I have been told that the British Embassy had alternative arrangements (maybe imported as a diplomatic baggage I don't know). It was only re-registered under English plates in London on its way back in 1957. Do you know anywhere else I can find out?

Only small chance is the embassy I guess, the DVLC won't have records of it.

What colour is it Onne ? Grey or Green? I don't think I have seen many of those.
How do you get your photos of your cars on the site?
