[QUOTE="Jerry161, post: 53901, member: 2950"] Personal Details Section contains the following statement: "Furthermore, we are often contacted by previous owners of Vincent machines, who are keen to pass on old photographs/log books/tax discs etc. [B]It is a sad fact that we are often unable to do this as we don't know the current owners of all Vincent/H.R.D. machines.[/B] Please help us to help you!" That policy seems a short sighted waste of an opportunity, leading to irreplaceable old photos etc being just scrapped. Would it not be better for the club to accept and store the offered material? It is quite likely that eventually the club will become aware of the new owners, and could then offer ( for a fee?) the old photos etc. Storage could be part of the Machine Registrar responsibility, delegated to A.N.Other. No doubt the "can't be done" school will come up with many excuses for doing nothing. [/QUOTE]
