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
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
