All being well the Dodge and the Leyland with be reunited again in September at Haddenham Steam Rally. Both in the same family!

Could get valve springs made up. Got them made for the Leyland

Nice piccies Given the Latil in the first image maybe early 20's look like railway photos, Great Western Railway

I did say assembled,(by a British workforce)

Better tell that to the workforce at the DAF factory in Leyland. They assemble more wagons a year than the Motors every did. Also there are probably some chaps in Guilford who may dispute the comment

Have a word with paulbrook on here He did have a Ford back axle assembly, it was a torque tube one if that's any good Diff may be OK

If you need a copy of the relevant page from the Vanderveen book scanning drop me a pm

The vehicle was obviously "in scope" of drivers hours as it had a tacho fitted and I presume was being used in conjunction with a trade or business. Therefore any driver of that vehicle is required to keep records of his driving So a couple of things The regular driver should at the end of his shift removed and completed his tacho chart, leaving the chart in at the end of the shift can be construed as not complying with the EU drivers hours regs. The driving you did would appear on his chart as his driving Secondly you should have inserted a chart to record your driving (however short) period Also to comply with the EU drivers regs as you have driven a vehicle "in scope" you are required to complete records of your work and rest for the complete week (done by making manual entries on blank charts) even if this did not include driving duties These would have to be retained by you for 28 days to be produced if required by an enforcement officer if you drove that van again and then returned to the office at the end of that period Complicated I know for a three mile trip but those are the rules If anybody need chapter and verse on both the EU regs and the domestic rules go to the DVSA website and download GV262 (this is the drivers hours rules document) Oh and its free!

The limber and 25pdr!!Then I think a Vickers Medium Mk1 Tank

Never too old to build a model! Just finished this 1/35 Mirror Models Morris C8 Quad Mk 3 .

Most of it complete rubbish!!!!!!!!!!

Just make sure you do the NOVA declaration (can be done on line HMRC website) within I think 14days. If you don't do this whatever method you use to register it will be rejected by the DVLA

Wonder when Airfix are going to produce a Mk1 Matilda 1/48 would be nice

A lot better.............well done JC and team

I think you are correct to be worried Firstly if there is no tag with a chassis number it will be near impossible to verify that the chassis number for an age related plate The best I think you will have is a Q plate and a DVLA issued VIN Number I may be wrong, I am often am!!

Smoking on an AFV....................put that man on a charge!!!! Good vid!

Found it Converted in civvy use to aa wrecker now fitted with a Scania diesel engine

There is another NM in Lincolnshire but this is fitted with Holmes wrecking gear and a Scania engine When I get home I will see if I can dig a photo out

Just wondered why you MOT it? Surely pre 1960 not used in conjunction with a trade or business is exempt?

Also may be worth getting hold of Dick Taylors books "Warpaint" Loads about markings and colour schemes in them

Good question, always get them mixed up. Think it was the early one on 1100x20 tyres all round. Think it was cast in the 70's

Just do the NOVA application, I know of people who have been in the same situation and have not had a problem Good Luck

As I said above you need to make a NOVA declaration, there will be nothing to pay It ticks a box for the dvla if the box is not ticked your application will be rejected I think I have outlined the processes above for either retaining a number or applying for an age related plate

OK First thing first, make the NOVA declaration as you would with a recently imported vehicle This will tick a box for the DVLA later on Secondly has the vehicle been registered and do you know its reg number If yes then go online and do a vehicle check on the DVLA website. If it comes back with a record then it is on the database and all you have to do is request a new V5 If it is not on the database then you need to use the V765 scheme. You will need proof that ties the chassis number to the number claimed. The dvla are very specific about the evidence required. An old style log book or a certified copy from the original county registration ledger or old not certificates are about the only acceptable evidence. The V765 application has to be submitted and completed by an authorised club. If its not on the database or never been registered then you need to go down the V55 route for an age related number. You will have to have the vehicle inspected by a approved club ( the DVLA has a list) and dating evidence produced, this is then submitted to dvla along with the fee and completed V55 and eventually you should get an age related number That lot is probably as clear as mud! However start the process before you strip the vehicle as for the inspection is has to be "reasonably complete" If you want further clarification drop me a pm and I will try to help, I was MVT verification officer for a few years Hope that helps

Suspect DBG everywhere!!! My wartime Hippo that served post war certainly was
