SteveA ◊ 2007-02-26 22:33	Aha! http://www.bedfordgathering.com/wakefield/cdl792.htm
Sunbar ◊ 2007-02-27 16:26	Well done...shorter body. So that's why the front entrance door is like it is? Pre-war as well. edit: picture link added http://www.bedfordob.com/gallery/cdl792.php The vehicle details for CDL 792 are: Date of Liability 01 09 1997 Date of First Registration 01 10 1938 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1259CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BROWN -- Last edit: 2016-07-04 22:19:10
