mg-rover.info
 

I haven't been able to access the website for a few days and keep getting a "The requested URL / was not found on this server" message. Tried different browsers but still the same, so does anyone know if this is a temporary issue or if the site has gone forever?

It does go offline for a while sometimes, hopefully they are adding the missing Cowley data 🤣

Ahuh :youmug:

looks like its still down

Still down. What about taking ownership of the records and hosting the site somewhere ? I think it is a piece of history with a huge amount of infos that can't be lost !

The club was gifted the database on the understanding that it be used on a one to one basis to club members who wanted info on their cars. So we did and still do to any member who sends me a PM with their VIN number.

Then about six months later, that website appeared which as far as I know was set up by Steve Child’s, the former owner of MG.rover.org and allowed anyone to look up any VIN. While it’s a free site, I seem to recall it carried ads so would have probably been a source of income to the site owner? Maybe that’s why it’s no longer running :shrug:

Anyway, the site has no connection with the club, but members can still PM their VIN number and I’ll gladly still look up their build data provided it’s listed :}

When you said---that website--- did it have a name as I can see no mention in the rest of this thread??

The one in the thread title ;)
