saracenstump Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 the information plate on mine is on the left side sitting in the drivers seat slightly behind.it should tell when it was last in workshops,all were built by alvis and should have the mil reg on.if you get in touch with bovvy they should have the service records which you can get a copy of for a fee.

tech II Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 The info that I've received from the Capitan is, ser # 35 g 22 20314 ??? there is no tag on the veh to support this that I have found, the only tags I can find are on some of the parts, the engine tag is b80 no1 mk6a, 10185, although the paper work that came with the veh from lionheart veh comp. reads engine # 10692 ???, I'm not to familiar with how this was purchased. Since I'm new to your site, what is bovvy??. Thanks Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Denver, Post a photo of your vehicle and hopefully I will be able to ID it for you. To obtain records from the Tank Museum you will need the military registration number. This is made up from 2 numbers, 2 letters and 2 more numbers e.g. 01 BB 10. Engine numbers can usually be ignored on these vehicles as engines were changed whenever the vehicle was rebuilt. For some vehicles engine changes were much more regular than that!
