MG MGA - CarFax on an MGA?

I tried to do a CarFax search on the MGA racecar. It says it's an invalid VIN, not enough numbers. Hmmmnnn..anyway to get it to work>

Not a chance. Carfax data does not go back that far in time. It is correct is saying invalid VIN, as MGA is too early to have the modern 22-digit VIN number (which has been standard since 1981). Carfax does not work prior to 1981 models.

Is there no other way of checking USA number plates or VIN's ? I appreciate each state is different but some must alloy online view's based on number plate?


These are the primary one's I use in UK:

Gerry - don't tell me you are looking to buy yet ANOTHER car!

Have you signed up for the 2014 MG Tour de Marque at the Glen?

Mark some states do crazy things here. My Dad passed away this spring and I had just renewed the Illinois plates on his car for him. I then decided to put both his cars in my name. Had to get new plates,he had a great number for over 30 years. No refunds either,I should have just left it go a year and got his money worth. So as you can see in some states a car can have had many plates over the years so it could be very hard to trace. But your boat in Illinois keeps the registration numbers on it no matter how many owners it has.Right now there is a 7 month backlog on getting a boat or snowmobile title and registration when you buy new or bring one from out of state!

Ken,
Already bought ANOTHER car. A 1960 Coupe racecar. Check out the racecar #419 thread. Don't know about the tour de Marque,but I expect to run with the racecars in the re-enactment and race in the Collier Cup. OK, 7 MG's? Guilty...
Cheers,
