Graham Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I bought an Avon Fairing for a motorcycle from a chap that collects ex police motorbikes. In a cubbyhole I found a label with the following information: 'MITSALES LTD., Windsor Court, Bulford Rd., Durrington, Salisbury, Wilts. Telephone; Durrington Walls 69415' printed on the label. Typed on to the label is: 'Order No. G98/75639. Part No. PSA 4 White/Shell. Vocab No. 7BC 2510-99-806-7225. In aid of MOD set 33032.' Anybody know about this firm and what all this may mean? Thanks.

Graham Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Sorry people - I should have looked into this further. I had it in my mind that this was a company that sold ex military equipment. I have no found out that 'MITSALES' is the sales arm of Mitchenall Brothers of Durrington the makers of Avon Fairings. Interesting though the reference to MOD set 33032? Or am I clutching at straws to try and justify a mistaken post? Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 MOD could be MODification rather than Ministry Of Defence, though 7BC 2510-99-806-7225 is a NATO stock number for parts for BSA motorcycles. I'd guess Vocab is short for Vocabulary (VAOS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 This would be for the military model B40GB, as they were not produced from the factory with fairings there would have been a Mod kit. I should have the EMER somewhere and some Mods are in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Interestingly if you do a search on Mitchenall Brothers it has recently (2010) been reincorporated, although still remains a dormant company.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
