Morris C8 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Thanks, These are for the wartime humber snipe staff cars used after 1949. found this one on the web 19 YE 48 ? is this one made up? Edited February 27, 2018 by Morris C8 Quote
wally dugan Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) the list of numbers allocated to wartime vehicles in 1949 list numbers gives 00 YE 01 to 30 YE 40 as been JAGUAR 1/2 TON TRAILER l have cross referenced this with the no2 key card list and confirms this. The numbers I gave are from the 1949 inventory list of vehicle stock that was held at the out set of the new postwar series of registration numbers I have the later list dated 1952 which shows a reduction in the number of wartime vehicles still in service due to there replacement by new vehicles l will check this list to see if any of the old stock was renumbered but do not think this has happened in this case Edited February 27, 2018 by wally dugan grammer Quote
wally dugan Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) The attached shows 19 Y? 48 this from a file on vehicles the correspondence in the file shows that there was a doubt as to whether it is a faint F or E as can be seen the letter has been altered in the end it was said from their files the correct registration was indeed 19 YF 48 this all took place in 1979 Edited March 8, 2018 by wally dugan Quote
