AndyFowler Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi Mike , I had a look at the list and I found that my Explorer reg is dated as 1951/52 but she has 55 stamped on almost every part I find a number on including the chassis which has 3/9/55 stamped in it ! Any thoughts appreciated !:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 This list looks like it's been compiled from photos, with the location seen or photographed on the right hand side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts appreciated !:-D If this is correct: JSU 704 (94 BD 08) Daisy Andy Fowler, Meadows Petrol :thumbsup:, then it should indeed be 51/52 according to other info I have.:confused: 50BD00 to 99BD99 ran from 51/52 as far as I am aware, BP would have been 54/55. More research needed as I note yours is a 'mk2'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Interesting - it says the letters ET were used on by the Army on B & D vehicles from 1966 to 1967. My Stalwart is 19 ET 90 and was built in 1969..... :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the "ran from 51/52" means that this is when they start using those numbers and they then keep using those numbers for that particular model regardless of its year of manufacture until those numbers are all used up and then they allocate a different batch for further vehicles produced ! Just my interpretation , not sure really !:sweat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The letter code is designated by the year the vehicles were ordered, not produced. For example FD is 1970-71 but I have a 1973 CVR(T) and a 1975 CVR(W) both with FD numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean101ryan Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Same with 101s, reg is from order date. They wern't allocated in chassis number order either just to confuse matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy FV432 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi All, Just as a matter of interest, regarding 432s. A big batch of them are **EA**. We have been trying to link the hull nos to vrns, mine is 10EA15 with hull number 815. DavePs is 17EA69 with a hull num of 1569, we managed to see 17EA68 and it has a hull num of 1568. Also 08EA41 hull num is 041. Notice any pattern, well we thought so until you go to 05FA68 and it num is F303 ?! And Dave's fv434 01ED15 is 042, but they appear to follow that the block of **ED** allocated to fv434s 01ED15 was the 42nd built. Are you all still awake??????

Regards Dougy I have found the same problems when trying to list all the known CETs, the sequence between chassis number and military registration suddenly goes out ! All are in the FD series. But found 2 with KJ on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
