Hello Roy,

The thread Victory demonstrations show pics of a couple of Sexton GPO passing through Goor on 10 May 1945.

As Goor is close to your hometown, I thought you'd be interested to see them.

How's the restoration going?

Hi Roy,

I was wondering how you are getting on with the Sexton too.

You probably know by now that the MLW works or Shop number is stamped into the upper rear hull of a Sexton just above the starting handle hole. From that it is possible to work out the CS or S number as they were not allocated randomly. There was also a data plate to the right of the driver but they rarely survive.

David
