Hi All, I think Witham is a private company and "ventes domaniales" is a branch of French Administration (Ministry of Finances). Regards Robin

Hi Hanno, Thanks a lot for this information. Kindly. Robin

Hi All, I see on a web site this military trailer which is, for me, unknown. I am not a specialist and I am very interested if anybody have some informations about it. Thanks in advance for your help. Kindly.

Hi Big Ray :wave::wave::wave: Thanks a lot for your comments concerning Normandy. That'qs true, it's a nice country. I am impatient to see your vehicles. May be next time. Robin

Hello Clive and Richard, Thanks a lot for your help. I have to complete a form with a decription of all conponents of the trailer: maker, part reference and conformity with EC Regulations. For brakes, lights it's OK. But the problem is for the axle, the overrun damper and the frame. I send last year an E-mail to Universal Trailers but, unfortunately, without any success. I use the E-mail address on their web-site. Is there any department able to answer ? Thanks again. Robin

Hi All , I am the owner of a "Sankey" Trailer, in fact a FV2381 Mk3 made in 1995 by Universal Engineering, and, for me, it's a very nice trailer behind my landy. Unfortunately, in France, we have to register this kind of trailer which have a payload over 500 Kgs. I receive from the MoD the document with the history of this trailer and I have also the technical documents issued from tha MoD like the Operating Information, the Repair Instructions, the Illustrated Parts Catalogue. I have also a document issued by DVLA saying there is not specific registration for these trailers in UK. I think you are lucky for that. Unfortunately, I have not an official document with a description of the regulations applied for the connstruction this trailer. Who can supply ? This trailer is too young to be registered as "historic vehicle". Theorically, I have the possibility to declare this trailer as "new" and "home made" but, in this case, i have to replace the overrun damper (with manual reverse locking) by an automatic reverse and to found the specifications and the maker for the axle. It's a difficult way. Have you some idea to solve this "adminstrative" problem ? Do you know a supplier for an (second hand) overrun damper with automatic reverse system like on Parotow Trailers ? I ask many times in England without any success at this moment. Thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards. Robin

Hi Sean, I think you can found some informations on these websites. Sorry, some of them are in French. http://www.alm-acmat.com/ http://www.acmat.fr/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACMAT http://acmat.skyrock.com/ There are many versions with different characteristics. If you need additionnal informations, precise the model and I can search on french websites. Kindly. Robin.

Hi All, Thanks to all, mainly to Enigma but my english is still perfectible ...

Hi All, I am a new forum member since yesterday evening. I am french and live in Normandy, near Dieppe. I am 61 and retired since 1 year. I discover your forum through one of your member who is also member of EMLRA forum. I am president of a small club of Land Rover owners. I am also the owner of a Defender 110 SW (sorry, a civy one) and a "Sankey" trailer. In fact, one FV2381 Mk3 made by UEC. My wish is to became the owner of an ex MoD Defender as soon as possible. Kindly. Robin
