marriage was not a success and they divorced after the warwhen they returned to England."I wonder if this car, which obviously may have been aTriple-M, is still about somewhere. Does anyone out there owna car with the name Barnato, Isaacs (the name Barnato wasadopted by Diana's grandfather, who was originally calledIsaacs. I have no idea how official the name Barnato really is),or perhaps Lowry, on its list of former owners? Would be niceto find out what type of M.G. it was - if indeed a Triple-M - thatcrossed America in the 30s, wouldn't it? Anyone?Kind regards,From George EagleHi PhilI have been looking through all the L2 chassis files with aview to collating all the details into the information I have on theL2s.Chassis number L2053 was delivered to Scottish MotorTraction, Edinburgh on 14th August 1933, and was purchasedby W Hall, Dalkieth, Mid Lothian on 16th August.On 23rd September the car was back at the MG for work onthe gear lever which kept slipping out, flooding carbs and ade-coke; labour charges £3-17-1d.Other various problems were listed over the next couple ofyears, and on 24th February 1937 there was correspondencewith a garage in Edinburgh regarding misplaced coring in theblock, the garage sent in the attached sketch by way of illustrationof the problem in number 5 bore.
