remains of mailvans VAW 982J and VWV 266K lurk in the undergrowth too... interestingly(?)....VAW 982J lasted only 6 years....from being registered to being sold off from the PO with terminal rot!! this was the one with the wooden cab floor. PO bits from VAW are shared on SLN 230F and FVB 838J, the c...

Nah....

referring to my Dad and myself....

certainly NOT any company, just a family who adores ex GPO/PO Minors!!!

Why did you think the POMMReg was a company?

We bought an ex-Royal mail van direct from PO at auction in 1978.... it had a wooden drivers' cab floor - bolded to the existing metal one via the seat fixing bolts... in our workshop.....uncovered it last week!!! never seen this mentioned As for the hefty sumpguard on our SLN 230F...... Oddballs......

No such thing as a '67 'MAE5'...??? The first 'MAE's' were the 1968 SYM/SLO-F regd telephone engineers' Minors.....although the log book will have the old 'OJE' chassis prefix!!! Confusing to say the least...MAE5/225800 upwards Body will be in the 37*** series.. engine a '10MA-U-L 31*****' Apols for...

Hi,

Let me know the chassis nos. and I'll give you it's UK PO history!

Cab number would be great too....

(x Z37923-4 5????? x)

Engine Nos if original will be a 'PO special'....10V/451E/L?????

Chris the POMM bore

A book that's attempted to make sense of Cab numbers....?

a new one to me!!!!

I even attempted the GPO 'Z' type body numbering system several years ago.....

Nightmare on Elm St!!!!

Chris

was on eBay a while back....

was in Treharris/Nelson today...deliver to the Co-op there!!

609 FUU's DoFR may be wrong ha ha

Chris

Hi Mike,

No-one has even attempted them.

The aim of the game is to accurately date cabs when chassis numbers are unnavailable.

By the by, 609 FUU is still about!

Chris

I'm putting together a book on the subject of GPO/PO Minors vans.

bit stuck on the cab number section, therefore would appreciate chassis/cab details from owners willing to help!

may even try Civilian LCV's if enough are forthcoming!!

Chris @ POMMReg

Thanks!!

Just stuck on a few points, hate to bung it out when I'm not 100% sure of things....my only fear!!!

Started it in the late 80s!!

The Cheltonian POMM geezer!!

Thanks 1960ish? I have very few early Civvy vans' cab numbers.... (x Z = cab code C cab number x) Obviously the "C" prefix of the number denotes it as "Civilian" whilst GPO vans have a "P" prefix!! Series 2's have (x Z?????? C ????? (x BMA ???? x) Any chance of the chas...

Unless you're seriously interested in the number crunching aspect of LCV's it won't be much of a read....

what's the cab number of your motor....(x Z35127-34 2????? x) if it's a '70 civvy...

Loopy-LouM Have tried all LCV contacts.....no joy!!!!! Indeed the 'Experts' at MMOC themselves told me I was wasting my time.....needless to say I ignored them and the result is in the forthcoming book. This mindnumbing book also contains all known GPO/PO Minor registration numbers...53000(ish), as ...

Has anyone been bonkers enough to attempt making sense of these? Have managed to do 1953-1959 and 1964 onwards....BUT am at a loss with the ones in between...(sigh!) (x 12345 (xBMB ???x) P????? x) = Series 2 Engineers (x 12345 P????? (x BMC ???? x) = " Mailvan this is where it gets confusing......
