Hey folks this came through my e-mail today, thought I'd post it here, text as follows:
Bill Krone of Burlingame suggested your group may be able to help locate a
vehicle formerly owned by the late Leon Mandel (publisher of AutoWeek). The
car is a 1959 MGA twin cam coupe raced at Sebring and driven/owned by Leon
for approximately one year while he was an employee of S&V Motors,
Burlingame CA. According to interviews done decades ago, he briefly raced
the car and then sold it. It was subsequently lost to followup. I have
both the VIN and CA plate number from 1959 or 60 but have been unable to
trace the vehicle from CA DMV. [I have the e-mail address, I'll past it along to anyone who thinks they can help specifically]
