1750gtv Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi all, First Post on here so be gentle! I've just bought an early 2003 td5 station wagon. It was bought direct from the MOD auctions in 2018 by Agricultural and Cross Country vehicles (exmod.co.uk) and they have confirmed it was in Cyprus until 2018. I just wondered if anyone has any more info on this type of vehicle or whether any can be found from the MOD. It's a pretty basic spec red SW with the addition of air con. Many thanks.

hurbie Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 look for the data plate on the seatbox , it should have the military registration number , with this you can find it's history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1750gtv Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Where on the seatbox would I find the data plate? Bearing in mind this is a 2003 td5 station wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurbie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 it's normaly on the drivers side (the flat side you see if you open the door) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Its a big plate about 3 x 6 inches, you can't miss it, BUT if its a white fleet vehicle leased by Lex, then it may never of had the plate as these would of been registered by the leading company as normal non military vehicles.

OK cool. That would make sense. I had a good look around and couldn't see it. There are a couple of rivets in that location that would fit with a plate that size so even if it had one it may have been cut off. I have put some details into the Merlin search so you never know. I thought even the auction listing from Brightwells would help build up a bit of history but haven't found it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1750gtv Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just to close this out I never did find a plate or anything else so I guess it was just a white fleet civvie vehicle then. Definitely spend along time in a dry warm climate though.....judging by the layer of fine dust or sand that is behind everything I touch.
