wally dugan Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 RICHARD 13 BE 05 was built in 1952 as a FFW [ fitted for wireless ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58 BE 88 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 RICHARD 13 BE 05 was built in 1952 as a FFW [ fitted for wireless ] If the vehicle really is 1305 then it was built as a Cargo version, not FFW. The FFW versions didn't start until vehicle No. 8277. However, the OP confuses Champ and Jeep, and with Champs the chassis number (found stamped on the chassis dumb iron) is different to the vehicle number which is on the VIN plate on the scuttle. More information needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antar Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 A Champ is a Champ, we never refer to them as jeeps, it is insulting to both vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 l was wrong on the FFW bit but that is what comes of accepting lists without checking them first but may be the person who sent in that information to me believed it to be correct or had it been converted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
