Inspired by expeatfarmers pictures of MG2 no 137 I took the top off the gearbox of my MG2, both crown wheels are marked AV 9×34 with no other markings on the rims, makes me wonder if they are replacements for the original ones. Does anyone know if this is likely? At least I know that the brakes have plenty of life left in them!
I am trying to find the date of manufacture because the serial no is not readable on the registration plate.
Should normally be a lot more numbers so guess you may be right re replacement.
have a look on the underside of the gearbox lid or failing that take off the serial number plaque and see if the stamped number has marked the chassis. Failing that photograph the Plate and play around with edit on photoshop or similar and see if by adjusting contrast/tone etc you can recover the number.
Have a word with Dave Clark- he is running the Ransomes Register on the “Survivors” page. He was telling me the other week that the serial number is repeated somewhere inside the gearbox.
