88YW52, 91YW18 and 91YW56 were K6 gantries, so 91YW17 is highly likely to be a K6 and probably a gantry. You could try the RLC archive to see if they have a record card for this VRN. There may be a charge for this.

Thank you Noel for identifying this number and yes I have tried the RLC archive and a record does exist

Some YW were apparently not used; of those that were, I know of Bedford QLD GS, Bedford OY and Austin K6 3 ton gantry. However, I have a big gap in the middle, and another at the end, which I can't account for. Hopefully someone else may be able provide more info.

Thanks Noel,

The vehicle number is 91YW17 

Rebuilt overhaul 12/53

chassis number 59693

Can anyone confirm what category of vehicle used YW as the central numbers on post war military plate as I know YH & YJ were jeeps ?

I've had through my hands an unused,reconditioned engine for an IHC Halftrack rebuilt by Bugatti for the French Army and sold as surplus in the early 80s. I don't recall the rebuild date though.

Does anybody know anything about the Bugatti factory re building WW2 Engines / vehicles ?

I found a re build plate dated 1960 on my engine showing it was re built and a friend has a GMC showing the same thing. I was interested in finding out more about this rebuild factory.

Hello Yannic,

welcome to HMVF.

you certainly have a nice collection of vehicles.

i noticed your location in France, would I be correct in thinking Buggati had a factory in the area during both wars ?

Molsheim Alsace or am I completely wrong as I have a engine WW2 that shows it was rebuilt there in 1960.
