The MOD started evaluating LRs with two pre-production vehicles and bought another 20 in 1948. A first batch of 1878 vehicles were purchased in 1949, followed by many more. The military registration numbers for the first batch ran from [00BC01] to [18BC78]. If the numberplate shown here [21AE/F..] is correct it is either one of the first 22 or one produced in 1950.
