Unless it is a Scottish registration it has been re-registered. I have no record of it on the register under that reg. If you can find out the chassis no. I may be able to help

It just seems a bit strange that it's a 1952 lowlight model when they stopped making lowlights in 1950 :-?

It looks like fresh rust on the engine and boot floors.
Did they have flooding in West Sussex?
No documents is a worry, why not?

Yes, the stains worried me too. I phoned the guy and he assures me it hasnt been flooded and these are primer marks.... He has only had it about 6 weeks. The owner has current documents but all old paperwork work with its original numbers have been lost.
