Tony B Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yes, you would be entitiled to keep it in German colours. I've seen photos of them in Jersey used by the Occupation forces. I'll try to find them. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvinthemartian Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Plus also if any were left at Dunkirk, have also seen pics of them, they also used MW's too. It looks totally different but very realistic in the German colours, you'll most likely get more tongues wagging if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that mean mate?, and I've applied for the log book, does any one no the age of it?, john the chassis number is 28034 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 BILL the chassis number you give is for 1940 as for that year the chassis numbers started at 21001 and finished at 40033 but l will stand corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooky Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Hi louis the engine number is 910? What does that mean mate?, and I've applied for the log book, does any one no the age of it?, john the chassis number is 28034 Has it ever been registered??? If not you will need a verification letter from a club to help with getting an age related number and Historic Vehicle status Also agree with Wally about its date of manufacture from the chassis number, I would however expect the older type of dashboard (speedo that goes the other way round etc) However there is no telling what happened if the vehicle had been rebuilt at some stage in its life, does it have a plate on the n/side chassis rail just behind the cab. This will give its post war military census number and if its been rebuilt Edited November 27, 2013 by Brooky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 BILL as to your engine it may have been changed a few times while in service so the engine number will tell you very little some where on the engine block there may be still a rebuild plate telling when the engine was rebuilt l see the remains of the lvt code oh by the way bill you are suposed to put petrol in not take it out nice truck well done again BILL REGARDS WALLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billruston Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks every one, shame about the cab:( it is registered I've got a number plate, so hopefully will get some paper work soon bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
