If you want to drive it in the road I would get one that is already registered. Not sure what the current situation is with getting them registered.
-
I thought there was a proposed excemption for historic vehicles from the 10 year rule but I have not kept up to date on this regulation.
-
I was in A RY (RWY) Squadron LAD for a while in Swindon and Trowbridge. I forget where the HQ element of the LAD was based but presumably the OC qualified for a Ferret as his transport.

I will send you a message.

Thats a good price Richard but I am realy looking for the TL2 which has the shroud rather than the cage and an all metal body. I dont think you will have any trouble selling them. Thank you for looking.
-
Sorry the last picture looked like something different to the first.
-
These are available on e-bay and if the correct size I know someone who has large quanities of original WD ones.
-
Let me know a price please when you find them.
-
Are these the ones with the plastic bodies Richard. There were loads of NoS ones arround years ago.
-
Does anyone have a spare British AFV interior light they wish to sell please.
I looking for the earlier type without the screw in cable joints.

Lots of different versions and neither version match yours 100% if your label if it is definately WW2.

Because the Daimler Armoured Car Mk1 came out with 10.50x20. Looks very nice compared to the bigger 11.00's. But whatever the demand may be 11.00 would be perfectly acceptable of course!
As did every war-time 3 tonner but as you say quite what the demand would be to reverse engineer every 3 tonner in country if Barry wants to sell lots of tires is questionable. With Humber Mk IV you cannot even mount a 11.00X20 on the side if the vehicle as it is too big so I had to aquire a scrap 10.50X20.
-
Why would you want 10.50X20 size when they were replace by 11.00X20 which were in production before the end of the war. Every British and Canadian WW2 3 tonner is currently fitted with 11.20X20 and there would be a big demand for these but I can't see many people wanting to scrap their existing tires.

If you can believe wikipedia they moved about quite a bit so you will need to be specific what date you want to portray as they would have been attached to different formations depending on where they were.
The 1st Battalion briefly saw service in the Korean War in 1953, as part of 29th Infantry Brigade; after a brief spell in Egypt, they deployed to Cyprus from June 1955 to February 1956. They then spent two years in England, two in Berlin, one in Scotland, two in Libya, and four in England. In 1964, they deployed to Aden, then back to England and a three-year spell in Germany with the British Army of the Rhine.[73]
-
Although most of the first line Territorial Division's were still in existance up until the disbandment of the old TA in 67, after 61 most became Divisions/Districts responsble for the administration of all the TA units in their areas and probably ceased to be deployable as formations.

If it was like 155 (Wessex) Transport Regiment RCT when I was in you would have had a one Tanker squadron within the Regiment so it does fit in with the normal configeration. I don't think the Regiment is in any doubt.
-
The exhausts and flexi pipe are very rare so make your own.
If yours is a BSA the points are probably still available but if Canadian less so.
The UK dealer with all the WW2 spares sold his stock about 7 or 8 years ago and the new unknown owner does not seem to advertise anything.

Unfortunately the old WW2 Renactors Forum which had a huge thread on the different repro Denisons has now fallen victim to FaceBook. Frank Browns hand made Denisons are still considered to be the best if you have plenty of money but for an up to date view on other Denison's on the market I would suggest looking at the FB Links which have already been posted on ask your question on this on this page https://www.facebook.com/groups/100651956749919
This is a good example of rubbish. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-Army-WW2-1940s-Denison-Smock-Reproduction-Paratrooper-Airborne-Jacket/153742306525?hash=item23cbc16cdd:g:3ksAAOSwhEtd3~pe

Your comment about rubbish , I suppose that is fabric and spurious designs ? and poor stitchers ? I have always fancied a Denison (full zip) , remembering the 1/4 zip anorak when I joined the scouts , but it had a zipped kangaroo pocket across the front - fine until I outgrew it - then a struggle to get into it. The leather woggle found a home is a vase because the first task was to make a proper one out of deer antler ,,
I remember reading a article about Denison smocks a few years ago - apparently the finest made by a firm at Redcar & they were £ expensive so it was locked in memory. Seems I need to do lots more research prior to purchase.
I am not quite what relation this has to my comment. The MOD did retrofit some war-time Denisons with zips post-war and officers did whatever they wanted during the war if senior enough as proved in pictures.
-
Huge numbers still in storage after the war were fitted with zips but generaly very rare for OR's to do it during the war. If you are part of a group they will also have rules on what pattern of Denison to wear and acceptable manufacturers. There is a lot of rubbish out there.

Are there any decent Daimler Armoured Car Model kits currently in production?
