Hi Shaun ( and (in a Leslie Philips voice) hello Paula ! - sorry about that I'm not usually like that)
Welcome to the biggest bunch of losers and misfits to bash a keyboard.
I suspect that you have this info (as you've i.d'd the Smarts already) but anyway the Summer 91 Midas Magazine has the following data:-
Member No 0396, Shirley and Mike Smart, Kidderminster, DY11, Phone 0562 822440, Size 1300, Chassis 10001, Model Mk1, White, FNT 349V.
As the Smarts are not listed in Midas Magazines between Autum 89 and Spring 91 I'm guessing that they joined in Spring/Summer 91.
My membership number was 0309 and I joined in 1989, your car is much earlier than 89 so I suspect that someone else owned the car before the Smarts or they chose not to be members until 91ish.
Good luck with the history search.
Regards Mark
Just read Hans' post and realised that he is saying that the Smarts built the car in 79 so I suspect that they chose not to become members straight away, they thought about it for over a decade.
