Thank you, really appreciate your answer.

Thank you Richard, very useful - really grateful for you sharing your knowledge. Do you (or anyone else) have any idea about value on these things? it isn’t mine, doesn’t run - but my mate asked me to find about it.

Thank you Rob, that is priceless - really appreciate your help.

Does anyone have any ideas or information about this little charging unit?

Well, the dots are definitely joined up now. thanks Citroman - that is very interesting and useful information. Regards, Mark.

Thank you Richard, your sleuth skills are to be applauded. I love it when all the dots join up - so, it would seem that this was indeed used in Normandy, captured and pressed into post war civilian service. Thanks again, regards, Mark.

Thank you Citroman, I will start some research based on that. All I know for sure is that this wS built in Italy. like many Italian Army vehicles, there is a good chance it was commandeered by the Germans, and entirely possible it found its way to France, as it has original ‘Normandy 3 colour Camo’ paint. The only other thing I know is that it was sold at auction in the early 70’s, and came to the U.K. So, a good chance it is French.

Can anyone on here tell me if this registration number is Italian Army? 731AJ - 14

Thanks for posting those wonderful pictures - a very rare and interesting vehicle indeed. my own project just took a quantum leap forward, after 2 years of searching and placing of adverts, I just acquired an engine from San Marino.

I am very pleased to hear that - and staying in Spain is wonderful news. well done on an excellent job - you should be proud. Do you have a contact for the museum? I have some SCW memorabilia, that they may like. thank you,

Agree with my learned friend Enigma - very nice job. You are to be applauded on your speedy work - well done indeed. look forward to more updates, thanks for sharing.

Had a break from ‘playing with old army trucks’ - life has a habit of getting in the way of hobbies sometimes. The 166 has been preserved, parts have been collected, and I am almost ready to start the restoration.

Only just read about it . . . . .

In what way do you consider the price “ridiculous” - too much, or too little?

Hi Enigma, How are you feller? Here are a couple pictures. It also have engine, hood, radiator, windshield and some body parts. Any help with a positive identification of the type, would be greatly appreciated. regards, mark.
