POST OFFICE VEHICLE CLUB

HERITAGE Our members own a large number of
different former GPO, Post Office and BT vehicles and a selection is shown
below.
Because of the number of different types of vehicle operated by
the GPO, the Post Office and BT, we cannot even attempt to operate a spares'
service. Our Preservation Secretary
is often able to suggest sources of spares or put vehicle owners in touch
with other owners of similar vehicles or specialist one-make clubs. We have extensive records of old vehicles and can, in many cases,
give details of a vehicle’s operational area, its exemption number and when
it was sold. Our records are better
for mailvans than for telephone vehicles. We can also assist with correct liveries, often by reference to
the photographs already available in our “Trucks in Britain” books. We can sometimes help with transfers to
restore preserved vehicles to their original condition. We are recognised by the DVLA as the
authority for the reissue of old registrations for GPO and Post Office
vehicles. If your vehicle needs its
original registration reissued, please ask for the special V765 scheme leaflet
detailing the steps you need to take to make an application. Please send us details of your preserved
vehicle. We publish a “Preserved
Vehicle Guide” that lists details of all former GPO, Post Office and BT
vehicles in preservation. We attend a number of vehicle rallies
each year. Please support the Club by
bringing your vehicle to exhibit next to the Club stand. Please e-mail us at POVehClub@aol.com for details of
forthcoming rallies. LINKS
