Looking for my Dads first car...

Hi everyone
I have a soft spot for the MM as it was my dads first car and he has told me it many times in the past. I was hoping that I could convince my daughter that she maybe would be intersted in one as her first car... perhaps she could share it with her dad:-)
This year I embarked on the restoration of a 1976 914 and it got me thinking of trying to track down my dads car. I'm not really sure of the link between one and the other, I think its because as I was stripping it down he mentioned about a hundred times that the minor was easier to work on and better built. I don't think I could argue with that:-)
Absolute long shot of course but thought id try.
It was a black MM with Red seats - I think a series II registration number RVK 736. Not sure if he had it from new but I'm pretty sure it would have been registered in the North East, probably Newcastle.
If anyone knows of the car or can help trace it Id be very grateful.
Many Thanks
Andrew
