To confuse the Ministry of Supply placed Demands overseas for CMPs under the S/M 2XXX series and then the actual contracts for assembly at Dagenham, and probably also other plants, had a 'V.XXXX' series one allocated. This was the domestic series. No doubt rebuilds had the same subsequently.
Dave,

Indeed, we had a similar case in this thread: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ghlight=ec018q
But correct me if I'm wrong: I did find the S/M 2019 reference in the Chilwell list (census numbers L773980 onwards), but couldn't find the domestic V4288...

Regards,
Jan
