In my role of Rally Sec for the Cambridge Rally, I have had an e-mail from a chap in Australia who in the 50's owned a 1929 Chummy. The registration was/is PL6106(or 9). Could someone with access to the Chassis register let me know if the car is still known please?

many thanks

Sadly PL 6106 (9) is not in the chassis register ( which is freely available on the Association web site at www.a7ca.org

PL 5838 is a 1931 AF tourer and PL 6049 is a 1931 Swallow sports ( these are the two nearest registrations )

Agree with Malcolm, the Reg Number is 1931, a Surrey number, thus it seems a little long to have sat in the Showroom from 1929. I also checked DVLA database, but nothing came up, it may still be out there, possibly with another Reg No.

Dates of cars can be suspect. There's a Chummy on ebay at the moment, described as first Registered 1928, the Chassis number is a 1929 number and the Reg No. is a Hereford Number from 1930. These numbers are not in the Ebay description, I have received them privately as part of my Registrar duties.

I have been fortunate to have been loaned a copy of Glass's Index of 1928 - 1965 Registration Numbers by a fellow member of the Cornwall Club, this helps a lot to pinpointing when a Reg Number was allocated.

Hi Sandy,
Thank you for your instant reply to my enquiry regarding my 'lost' chummy---unfortunately I have know other info to further this quest -- so will have to live with the memories--- as a young 17/18yr old one never imagined the interest such a 'quaint' little car would make
Thank you once again

Neil
