Andy, I am in the midst of rebuilding all my external bins as they are also in bad shape, with much of the bottoms rotted out, so I would be more than happy to assist rebuilding yours as well if that is any help
Regards John |

Ed do you know if by chance the cents CAR's used the last 3 of the hull number? Just noticed in the pic the CAR matches the ROF hull number 190.
IiRC the CAR prefixes werent gospel. They seem to be used for date of delivery instead of contract depending in the order sizes and delivery dates for some vehicles. Just a thought. Quote:

Paraphrasing Ken Raychert, the Crown Surplus Centurion was apparently an ex-Fort Garry Horse tank which wound up in a group of 16 ex-CDN Centurions at Levy Auto Parts, which were then sold to the Brits to use as hard targets at Suffield. The Crown Surplus tank, supposedly 53-81228, was the only one sold privately by Levy - with the rest off to the ranges. If that's all true - Canadian tanks were on the ranges at Suffield - where the one we have here in Aldergrove is supposed to have come from - so it might be one of the 16 that Levy had. ** I say 'supposedly 53-81228' because that CAR is duplicated on a Centurion displayed at CFB Kingston for some reason. |

Did these tanks get a stamped CAR somewhere, like most other SMP vehicles from the early 50s?
