Vulture Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 ... GMC 135 has the reg on the bumper I think ..Worth trawlingposts posts on variouse events within Europe as things like like tanks in town and Normandy quite often post pics of GMC,s and given the fact that they are ROAD events people need to keep their UK reg numbers on so you might spott some UK registerd vehicles ..suppose getting permission to us the shots s the most difficult thing..End of the season for me so it won't be until next year untill I can start to collect more pics in general ..KenKen, intially I thought that about No 135, but 437TCG is a unit number I have now seen on several trucks. Good suggestion about the European sites. It's a bit like a detective puzzle. I keep adding pictures of vehicles to those already logged if it provides something else of interest to look at, or is simply a better photograph. Could do with more engine photos.

Vulture Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 150 has now been dismantled for spares.Yikes !! That is a real shame for that looks an interesting vehicle, (but also fascinating in an anoraky way). Do you know when it happened, why and by whom ? This is just the sort of info that will make the Blog an interesting repository of information for the GMC enthusiast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysmb Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ok ...first things first ...get speell chuckr om mi computr. :blush: 150 has been dismantled :-(.. Sad, so sad. Well done on the site, you have made a flying start. I'm sure that by the start of the next season you'll have passed the 200 mark, it would be nice to add owners names and S'nos etc to each of the truck pluss info like scrapped or under restoration etc .

Vulture Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thought I'd use the DVLA site https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/enquiry?execution=e1s1 to get extra details on vehicles, such as Date of registration in the UK and Year of Manufacture. Astonished to find about half the vehicles I've looked at so far aren't shown in their database ! :shocked: :shocked: Any ideas why that might be ?

Vulture Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Anyone make out what the Reg of this vehicle is on Milweb ? http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=63395&cat=4 Looks like a 939 at the end, not sure about the rest though. It feels a bit cheaky to E-Mail the seller. I've logged it as No 183 http://cckwphotoblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/cckw-353-radio-set.html Regards to all Vulture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulture Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 This is great. I can browse shop van pics to my hearts content :cool2:Hi Jon. Indeed you can If you see any corrections required don't hesitate to shout. As an aside, I have been suprised how many of the vehicles are not recorded on the DVLA database. Of those that are, lots have the engine size recorded incorrectly, as well as the year in the some cases. For instance I can't recall when the open cabs first came out, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't 1939 ! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
