With this register we hope:

• to find their cars and/or parts
• to bring engine and car owners together to get cars complete again
• to bring old documents from former owners back with the car, like bills of sale or old pictures and to complete the history of the car
• to sort out if the car is original

Please help us to complete the registry.
