Ryx 26 and ryx 28 are still registerd with the dvla as commers from 1958, so I guess ryx 27 was either scrapped exported or was re registered,

I've sent one of the authors of the book who I know, John Thompson, an email pointing him in the direction of this thread etc.

 

Anyway, looking in The Green Machine I have found out the following information. Your commer was a Bikini Unit and would have looked something like this http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p716470258/hAB9E8F4#hab9e8f4 back in the day. After being de-mobbed it went from L W Vass to an A Maddocks in March 1987 and was then seen advertised in Exchange & Mart in February 1988. The book was published in 1995 so I think the information is correct up to that date.

Thank you for the info, would the book say where it was stationed it has C72 on the bumper and on the mud flaps does this mean anything ?

Yes its the one in my profile, reg no RYX 44 from 1956 I dont have a copy of the book where would I get it from ?

Hi all I have a commer 1956 Q4, I know its not a military one but was with the AFS and I have herd there are some people on here that may be able to tell me a bit about this truck and where to find records of its history ? any help please.

Can anyone tell me why my landrover should have gone to FVRDE when new and can I find out where it went from there?

Sorry I mis spelt should have been 78 AA 46 but not my landy anyway,Can anyone tell me why my landrover should go to FVRDE whould it be for them to check out the new 11a and can I find out where it went from there?

my chassis number is 24101090a and there is no contract number on a data plate,The no 77 AA 46 was on the base of the drivers seat,But when the card came for this land rover it was not the same chassis no so it isn't 77 AA 46.The build date and dispatched to FVRDE info came from the land rover build data held at the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Archive Department Heritage Motor Centre Banbury Road Gaydon hope this clarifies things.

Thanks to all for your help I have just reseaved the card for 78 AA 46 but its not my landy chassis no is later than mine, I have also receved information on the Build date: 24 November 1961

Specification: home market

Colour: Bronze Green

Despatched: 18 December 1961 to Fighting Vehicle Research and Development Establishment, Chertsey

Is there any way I can find out more from this do all landeys go there first or?

Thanks for the help, any idea if green is the correct color for this ?

Sorry all I meant the DVLA civilian registration is saying that the land rover was registered in 1969 but appears to be from about 1962/3,you have answered this for me now many thanks all

Ted Angus said Hendon may have a card for it how would I find out about this?does this mean that this is an RAF land rover or not?
