Chieftain Looks like 'Super Six' over the top grille makes it a late one [CH53], 1967-1969. Trade plates are strange on a working vehicle! I don't know that regulations allowed (say a demonstrator on extended loan) their use, only break-down vehicles seemed to be exempt and trade plates permanently affixed? edit: A motor trader that is also a manufacturer is permitted to use trade plates on development vehicles "...on a vehicle kept only for research and development purposes..." Leyland Badger or Comet tractor unit possibly, with Badger being my guess. (no 'Super Comet' badge visible). -- Last edit: 2016-09-25 17:38:05 |

White on Red Trade Plates were used by a lot of companies on vehicle transporters back in the day . Seemed to be manufacturers own transporters , JCB and Whitlock ran their own low loaders on this type of plate. I think it was a bit of a loophole in the law but can't find any details on the net , yet. Red on white trade plates still common on vehicles being delivered and covers road fund licence only. -- Last edit: 2016-09-28 16:02:49 |

Back in the deep recesses of the grey matter, now I seem to remember the same, but I guess I took little notice at the time. Back in the 1960s and 1970s between Vauxhall-Bedford's manufacturing and assembly plants, I think trade plate may have been used then on the tractor units pulling the trailers stacked with cabs. |
