Government Moggie
Posted: Sat Apr 17, 2004 3:28 pm
I have a dark blue traveller which I bought from an old man who had kept it in a garage for 15 years.
He told me hat he bought it at a government surplus auction and never used it.
It has had a plate fitted acros the top of the front bumper at some time as the braket holes are there. It has also had something fitted to the roof of the cab just in front of the rubber seal.
It had had new front wings put on (steel) before being auctioned.
the old guy said it was possibly an ex-coast guard vehicle because of the colour and would have had a blue light on top. but I remember the royal navy having blue moggies which were used by shore patrols and these could have had lights on the top.
What other signs do I look for to find out its history?
regards
Bruce and Blodwin (maffanwy is dead) and the new one hasn't been christened yet.
Oh yes. my wife says she will leave me if I get another moggie. I shall miss her cooking.
