Email from Ceredigion Records.....

Thank you for your e-mail. EJ is indeed the letter prefix for Cardiganshire vehicles.
However I am sorry to say that although we have the two vehicle registration volumes for the motor cycles and motor cars for the early EJ sequence, we do not have the third volume which would have originally contained the 'heavy goods vehicles' - the lorries, tractors, steam waggons &c. I am afraid I do not know what happened to this volume but it was clearly not with the rest of the collection at transfer to this office in the early 1970s.
I have checked the transfer cards for you - but unfortunately none survives for EJ 545.
I am sorry we cannot help you further with this enquiry.

John. You have more or less the same reply as myself from Ceredigion records office. How-ever at the earliest opportunity I plan to make a trip to Ipswich in order to go through there card index. The unfortunate thing about this being when my dad brought her from Fred Harris there were three tax disc holders attached to the cab side boards, two of which were for trailers, the other being for the engine, all having now been lost.

How-ever what ever the out come I will keep these pages posted.

Thanks for your interest

Kevin
