Without a some original markings on the vehicle you are reduced to trying to find your registration number in a photograph.

Goed dag Meneer,

You should speak to Dirk Leegwater. He is a member here on MLU. Lives in the Netherlands, and has a Loyd.

Pedr.

Hallo Paul,

Like Neil said, if you cannot find unit markings on the Loyd, all you can hope for is someone found T-136474 in a unit diary or vehicle listing somewhere. There are some people collection this sort of information, I think they spend more time and money on this aspect of the hobby than many vehicle restorers do on a vehicle restoration.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Hanno

Cheers, Dirk

i thought whilst looking at the chassis it looked remarkably like a truck bed. in comparison to the Unversal carrier i would guess these must have been some what lighter ? i really love these things and after my Mk1* is complete i will probably go for one of these or perhaps a T16/Windsor.

Richard, I see that you have quickly moved to the tertiary stage of this terminal disease.

Default Just thinking... between beers....

....could you do the same reverse rotation using Chevrolet axles..... in fact why not just run the contraption with the engine in front.......and UC tracks..?

Got a spare CMP frame....lots of axles kicking around..... think I know where I can get the running gear from a UC in the woods for the taking......

Need another beer!!!!!
