Thanks..........civilian Lcv....that does make sense as the one on the door doesnt have anything like gpo , so I guessed it may have been private use- but ....I was hoping it was a paint code- because each time i think ive found the '0riginal colour' layer....i find another somewhere else !

LCVs were often supplied in primer for painting in fleet colours

Enthusiasts should NEVER date/identify vehicles solely by the chassis number - if in doubt, check the cab/body numbers!!!
