East Anglian A7 story

From the Eastern Daily Press

Re: East Anglian A7 story

The article has it wrong about the year of the car: its registration, radiator and gravity tank all add up to 1930 origins. Jim Holyoake would confirm.

This was my reply to Rick Fryer's post "A7 Special - UR 2865" about the same article in the Eastern Daily Press on 22nd April 2017.

Re: A7 Special - UR 2865
Rick,

Sadly it's not on the Chassis Register, DVLA database nor mycarcheck. The registration UR 2865 was issued in Hertfordshire in 1929, probably the middle of that year. Apparently only the post 1934 vehicle registration records exist at Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies.

Re: East Anglian A7 story

Robert, The RK I bought from you in 1964 was UR 7179 1st registered 4th July 1930. One of the last long scuttle/uncoupled brake cars I think. I suppose UR2865 would probably be 1929 or early 30.
