Hi there,

I got hold of an ex-army No 5 trailer from Greys earlier this year to tow behind my Defender 90. No log book with it on collection but was found later and they kindly mailed it out to me. Currently getting it ready for rego in NSW. Service log book says year of manufacture was 1967 and the army plate attached says date of entry into service was Feb 2009 (log book agrees with this with entry date of 26 Feb 2009). Question, what happened between 1967 & 2009? Were these trailers in storage? Is the '67 manufacture date correct? chassis number is 2416 & ARN 205 902.
Thanks for any info,
Pete

Most likely a full refurb/rebuild and the GM120 starts from scratch
