matchlesswdg3 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Just posting on behalf of someone on the Dodge WC 54 forum:. He was having his WC54 transported from Beccles to Belgium and since the pick up on 6 February, the bloke who collected it has gone AWOL and not answering calls. His Mitsubishi pick up truck, reg HX56DMU is indicated to have no current tax and MoT. Sounds worrying. The WC 54 is registered as 799YUL and has "Betty Boop" written on a mudguard/ fender. Any sightings or sales of WC54 or bits is worth checking. Edited February 9, 2019 by matchlesswdg3 Correcting reg number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 H56DMU is not a valid reg?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchlesswdg3 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Sorry......original now corrected. Thanks! Edited February 9, 2019 by matchlesswdg3 Updating info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchlesswdg3 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 A photo of the Dodge innquestion. Note name on mudguard and Norwegian style tyres. It is hoped at this stage, this will turn out to be an innocent mixup, but if anyone spots or has any information, please let me know as the new owner is understandably very worried as anyone would be in this situation!

radiomike7 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Assuming he used a trailer (?) the max towing weight for a 56 plate L200 is just 2700kg which is almost exactly the kerb weight of the WC54, add a trailer at about 750kg and he is well over the safe limit. Hope it turns out OK but not looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchlesswdg3 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 A trailer was used. Possibly the bloke was picked up on a NRC for no tax/MoT and the rig is now in a Police compound. It has been reported to the Police. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchlesswdg3 Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 FOUND! Happy ending........the rig was turned back as too heavy! Went back to its starting point. Lesson: stick to tried and tested carriers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Good to hear it wasn't the worst case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
