As you know the registration numbers were NYV252-336, you can check on the Gov site. It won't enable you to make a complete list of existing bikes because some of the numbers are now on other vehicles, and some are 'Vehicle details could not be found'. https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/?_ga=2.55134571.1947587275.1577367580-177725673.1577128332

Was the wiring in the trunking, originally all individual wires or a pre-made loom? I, suppose if the wires are installed and connected one at a time, coloured wire isn't really necessary, but it does help with fault finding, especially if the wires aren't numbered. Coloured wire in a pre-fabricated loom was even used in August 1934, with the introduction of the Austin Seven `Ruby`. Your use of the minimum length of coloured wiring is a clever solution to the problem of authenticity v practicality.

Are Land Rover deluxe seats the answer?

An early Christmas present.

Some insurance companies regard changing seats as a modification.

In this image the filter appears to split vertically.

Ian, it is a shame that the photo doesn't show the base of the filter. I can't enlarge the photo enough to be sure, but the filter might be side hinged. The difference maybe because the diagram (TB 4233) is for the 200 gallon lorry tanker. I assume that there is a Technical Bulletin for the 180 gallon bowser. I only found it today.

Thank you for the link.

The Jeep did sell, but Mathewsons don't give results other than SOLD.

Actually cheaper, the £12,765 includes the 11% buyer's premium of £1,265 but not the £253 of VAT on the buyer's premium.

The tug in the b & w image is very likely to be yellow with yellow wheels. A mix of black and yellow wheels on the yellow vehicles:- https://www.google.com/search?q=Douglas Taskmaster Aircraft Tug%2FTractor&tbm=isch&hl=en-GB&hl=en-GB&tbs=rimg%3ACe4SNLRrbZyeIkCqYzWVI8RKq8nNF8PjtW-RNjQVhhZ1njpO5RPhNuI5lm_1Eoyfrz3F9ieYppeE4mQ1ukDrDdHIb2-YccW0gO7iuKhIJqmM1lSPESqsRG9T3Svktc_1EqEgnJzRfD47VvkRHy6QRY7ObQ2ioSCTY0FYYWdZ46EZHOzvXC0C65KhIJTuUT4TbiOZYRkN7rEhrIhSAqEglvxKMn689xfRHopCct0l2lzSoSCYnmKaXhOJkNEaj70I2rB9GQKhIJbpA6w3RyG9sRRUyt7VVWnZsqEgnmHHFtIDu4rhFkQgl9GiBqt2GQ3usSGsiFIA&client=ms-android-huawei&prmd=isnv&ved=0CBIQuIIBahcKEwiA2-6Dt7rmAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQFQ&biw=360&bih=631

The Bell Medal may have been awarded again after 1909. Searching 'Bell Medal' in the NRA's online archive for winners or years when it was awarded doesn't come up with any results, but you would have nothing to lose by contacting them:- https://nra.org.uk/archives/

Could it be that the medal belonged to another part of the family tree or not even won by anyone in your family but has simply been acquired in the distant past?
