War time Lucas dating code

If you think Motorcycle owners are pedantic ... try the series 1 Land Rover forum... they were discussing how many holes are in the original dunlopillo seat squab foam , and how deep the holes were etc., ' rivet counters ' !

Thanks for this information Mike. By the way, I'm not a "rivet counter", merely a "numbers nerd" . These number-codes can be useful for determining a (military) vehicle's age. I know that at least during the 1960's and 1970's, there's also a dating code on the windows of the British Leyland built cars, although I've never looked up this code (I suppose that this can be extrapolated to other makes and decades as well). Anything like this on CMP's or other MV's I wonder?

Cheers,
Jan
