alixcompo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 People have already been kind enough to take an interest via other threads here. But for the sake of anyone who may know stuff. I have a MK1 (split screen) Bedford CA 'Utilicon' van cira 1957/58 I know nothing of it's history and don't have a registration number for it. (Ihave chassis & eng numbers) It may have been standing some time as it doesn't have windscreen washers fitted and they became law in 1977... I think in later life if was probably a farm runabout. But On the passenger side dash is the serial 94RN47. Does this mean anything.? I have a man on the case but any information about this or similar vehicles would be priceless.

Tony B Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 94 RN 74 is a Royal Navy registration. Windscreen washers, if not fitted at time of manufactuer are exempt MOT anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alixcompo Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) I stand corrected. cheers I thought they were retrospective but that was stop lights and indicators. (I wish I had known that and didn't need to look it up.) Edited January 18, 2012 by alixcompo Remembered summat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alixcompo Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 My plan is just to fix it quickly and drive it. Beautification and actually doing things properly can occur by way of a rolling restoration. Driveable by the summer I hope. Driveable not meaning pretty or reliable but more sort of..... Going.....

Tony B Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Right way of doing it. I've seen thousands spent on tarting up vehicles, that then fail MOT on a stupid point, and half the work has to be undone to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alixcompo Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Likely the van will be at War & Peace.... Possibly in much the same state it is now.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
