Default Valentine ?

It appears very similar to WW2 Valentine Tank, a number of which we have still existing in Western Australia

Cheers

Default Valentine

There is a Valentine in the CWM collection in Ottawa, if Jason can chime in . . .

Bump... Try to identify what vehicle this seat belongs to. CWM appear quite isolated.

Definitely not Ferret or Saracen

Have a Valentine manual will take a look when I have found it.

Thanks Richard. You have looked at the Valentine manual: the seat is not Valentine.

What do the early Morris or Guy seats look like? Can they be eliminated?

I am 99% sure that it is a Daimler Armoured car Driver's seat, I think Mk1 (but it could be MkII - I think the later one was simpler). The Ram Driver's seat was a very close copy of it but the rails that it slid fore and aft on did not have the lugs sticking out sideways and the sticking out bit at the back (to limit rearwood travel) was missing. However it would convert into a Ram one very easily. The little screw jack for the hight adjustment was almost a standard British truck part of its day. It is unusual to find a decent driver's seat in a Ram so CWM might want it for their Kangaroo.
