For the record, she left the works 1st October 1918, sold in one of the many government sales 1919 to Malcolm Bloomfield, Debenham, Suffolk. Late 1920 Bloomfield's carried out the conversion to showman's tractor for Fred Harris, showman who's winter quarters were at Clare, Suffolk. She worked throughout until my father purchased her early 1954 from Fred. In regards to the Carmarthenshire registration, according to Alan Duke and Tony Brown following WW1 the government allowed registrations from little used districts to be allocated to vehicles from other areas, due to the high demand of Ex Ministry vehicles requiring registrations. |

![]() I have always felt that like many Garrett 4CDs it originally had a 'BJ' registration - painted on.... A later interpretation, perhaps from a rusted plate was 'EJ' - which as you say, Trystan, is Cardiganshire. I don't think there is a record of it in Cards registration.
A similar instance in my opinion is the Burrell Scenic, Perseverance the Second, whose registration is WR9110, but for a few years in the fifties ran as 'WB'.
