Bedford QL info required

[Ron Pier]

A friend of mine in Belgium has taken on the restoration of a QL. He's asking if the data is available to research the census number from his chassis and contract number plates?

Hi Ron,

The census number group allocation can be determined for QL contracts, but chassis numbers and census numbers do not run in order. If your friend has the brass plate on the chassis with post war Army number, then Deepcut museum may be able to find the Key Card showing original census number. I went through all this with my QL many years ago through Beverley museum.

If your friend would like to send his available numbers to me, I will see what info I have to hand.

regards, Richard

Thanks for that Richard. He has sent me pictures of the post war and contract plates. Could you PM me your email address and I'll forward his mail to you.
