Hello Wally,

Thanks very much for this - Ted has already provided the explanation as to why renumbering took place; a simple overhaul would have seen it retain teh earlier number.

Best wishes,

Steve.

Hi Guys,This information was passed on to me by a goodfriend, to try and help you out with if it is yours or not...

Matador Army RegistrationNumber 78 RD 97 was converted from 90 YY 00 it should have the chassis number08532321 this information should confirm if this matador is indeed 78 RD 97.

The key card at Deepcutshould give the census number (which my friend doesn't have) and when it wassold which if it is this vehicle you already know...

 

Hi Fluf, interesting bit of information; I have seen 78RD97 on the show circuit. Have you any idea when the identity changed from 90YY00 to 78RD97? Thanks in anticipation, best wishes.

Steve.

I'm interested in vehicles in post-war service with the British Army, RAF and Royal Navy, 1950-1960.

Cheers,

Steve.

Hello Fugly,

any chance of posting them so that we can all enjoy looking at them?

Cheers!

Steve.:-)
