Hi Radek,

That plate is the Chassis number. The model type is 8AP, hence the letters on the left of the plate.

Hi Richard,
this plate is on the body but is similer with chassise plate. The chassise plate is hard to make picture. Is on the bad place. :-)))
I thing it isnīt type Austin 8AP!!! AP and the number is the contract number. I never heare about the Austin 8AP. But is possible I am in mistace.
This car was in RASC and after then possible in CIABG (Czechoslovakia Independent Army BriGade). It is from the end of the war in Czech Rep (Czechoslovakia)

Radek,

You will find on the Austin trucks, that the Chassis number plate, is on the chassis below the steering column and also on the cab bulkhead in the engine compartment. I would guess that the car is the same. Your car is definitely an 8AP, I am at present rebuilding an engine and gearbox for one, and have a friend with a restored one.
