    Please help me identify potential trailer purchase

    G'day everyone,

    I'm new here so please be nice...

    I'm looking at what I believe to be an ex-military trailer, however it's unregistered and the seller doesn't know where to find a chassis/VIN number stamping.

    He bought it from Pickles about 8 years ago apparently. I'd really like something like this but I don't want an expensive piece of scrap metal if I can't get it registered.

    Can anyone identify the type of trailer and any idea if it would have a VIN/Chassis number, and if so where it might be found?

    Thanks in advance. trailer.jpgtrailer1.jpg

    Put some mudguards on it and register it as homemade, which it quite likely is.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    My only challenge is I'm in NSW and as far as I can see, it's basically impossible.

    It's not impossible, it's not even hard. Claim the build date prior to 1980.

    With a bit of luck, Slunnie will be along after work. He probably can quote chapter and verse.

    Happy to be corrected, but from the enquiries I've made, I would have to prove somehow that it was built prior to 1990. The seller bought from pickles 8 years ago apparently but has lost the paperwork and pickles are no use.

    Hi,
    Are you chasing an ex army "Land Rover" trailer, or just a trailer.

    I'm no expert, but that doesn't look like an ex army trailer to me.

    From the photos it looks to have 6 stud Land Cruiser split rims, and I thought army trailers had a single round draw bar.

    Sorry, I have no useful input as to registering it in NSW.

    Tony
