ajh Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I am in the market for a wide-track Sankey to use with my 110 but I need to be able to prove 100% that it is older than 15 years. What can I tell the prospective seller to look for so that I can determine this? I do not have one here or nearby to look over to see what kinds of markings they have. I also probably need to get in touch with the original manufacturer and possibly MoD procurement so if anyone has the contact information for them it would help a great deal.

ejparrott Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 just out of curiosity, why over 15 years old?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 That is the age where a non-certified for Canadian import vehicle becomes exempt from the regulations. Also why I starts my build with a 1992 110 and am upgrading the key items to modern spec along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 ah ha!! just curious!! Im sure Ive seen builders plates on the drawbars of Sankeys, which would probably give a date of manufacture. Both the ones I know, or maybe knew by now, were on the nearside, roughly level with the back of the big hutch tube. Unfortunately its so long since ive seen them i couldnt tell you what was on them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Looks like you can order copies of the military service records from the archives for 25gbp which should satisfy customs. Hopefully this does not take months to recieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
