Rich ,

There are others around who are well read on the reg. numbers and dates - more knowledge than I have . Motorcycles are not my thing . But, my guess is that particular 4 digit number is from 1939 or early 1940 . It is confusing: they used the C prefix and AIF at the same time , plus the unusual 'O' prefix in Palestine . My first Morris PU has one of these 'O' numbers on the bonnet (0 36?0) .. I put a query to Mike Cecil ( Senior curator of technology at the AWM) , but even he doesn't know anything about it . I have found AWM pics of Morris' in Palsetine , some with bonnet numbers close to mine .. but haven't found the actual vehicle yet. This CS8 is
0 3699 , my PU could be 3690 ?
